Hello, I need to load a somehow diffilcult data file. It has lines with variable names followed by a variable number of rows and columns of data, separated from the next variable sometimes by a blank line, sometimes simply by the new variable name. For example:
var1 123.33 var2 938 var3 1,1,1,1,1,1 var4 1,2,3,4,5 1,2,3,4,5 What would be the best startegy for loading a file like this? I would like to have it staored as a list with the variable names used to name the slots. Any pointers?
