Hello to all!!

I am new in python, and I am running it on Mac with Smultron editor. I need to read a textfile that includes numbers (in a matrix form), indexes, and strings, like this:

Marsyas-kea distance matrix for MIREX 2007 Audio Similarity Exchange
Q/R     1       2       3       4       5
1       0       4.54592 4.36685 5.29463 3.85728
2       4.54592 0       3.97667 5.02151 4.64284
3       4.36685 3.97667 0       4.98743 4.83683
4       5.29463 5.02151 4.98743 0       6.04393
5       3.85728 4.64284 4.83683 6.04393 0



So I just want to keep the matrix in the "middle" for math computations.

        0       4.54592 4.36685 5.29463 3.85728
        4.54592 0       3.97667 5.02151 4.64284
        4.36685 3.97667 0       4.98743 4.83683
        5.29463 5.02151 4.98743 0       6.04393
        3.85728 4.64284 4.83683 6.04393 0

I've seen and tried a lot of ways, like split or isinstance.. but never get the wanted result.... does anyone have an idea, or hint? Thank you once more for your help!

Best Regards,
Bea
