I had a look: base/datafmt.jl does the file reading but it is quite cryptic and I didn't quite figure out where the conversion from string to float occurs. But probably it's done with the float64 function in base/string.jl which calls into C: src/builtins.c function jl_strtod. So, if my digging is right then it's not so easy to change and would change how strings are parsed into floats everywhere. Thus probably easiest to write a function which does the parsing. > On a separate issue, is there an equivalent to numpy's *loadtxt*? readdlm or readcsv do this. How did you do it?
