By hand might be the easiest. If possible, try to put the empty spaces at the beginning of the string (eg, your 3x,f13.5 would be 16 characters). Use `autostrip=True`. Use a sequence as delimiter (like in your case (12,11,11,3,10,10,10,10,3,3,10,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,4,16...)), that should be more efficient. _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
