Hello Anton, I just had the same problem and came up with the following solution:
a = csv2rec(fname) # read a csv file into a a[a.dtype.names[5]] # access column 6 (index 5) in the file As a shorthand you could assign the column names to another field in the recarray: a.cols = a.dtype.names a[a.cols[5]] # access column 6 (index 5) in the file Hope this helps, even though it may not be good coding practice. I am a novice myself... Best regards, Thomas antonv wrote: > > Hi all, > > I have a lot of csv files to process, all of them with the same number of > columns.
