I think genfromtxt() wants a filename as the first argument, and you have to tell it the entries in the file are strings not numerics.
test.py ------------------------------------------ import os import glob import numpy as np fileList = [] filesList = [] for files in glob.glob("*.log"): fileName, fileExtension = os.path.splitext(files) fileList.append(fileName) filesList.append(files) print('fileList = ', fileList) print('filesList = ', filesList) fname = '/tmp/foo.txt' print('fname = ', fname) data = np.genfromtxt(fname, dtype=str) print(data) ------------------------------------------ Contents of /tmp/foo.txt ------------------------------------------ 15-7.log 18-7.log 14-7.log C-VX3.log ------------------------------------------ Sample run $ python --version Python 2.7.15+ $ python t.py ('fileList = ', ['15-7', '18-7', '14-7', 'C-VX3']) ('filesList = ', ['15-7.log', '18-7.log', '14-7.log', 'C-VX3.log']) ('fname = ', '/tmp/foo.txt') ['15-7.log' '18-7.log' '14-7.log' 'C-VX3.log'] Is that any help?
