Finally! That's what I expect to see in a csv file. Do the first, second and third columns just count up like that? I thought that you were expecting some rows to have the same values in the second and third columns. I'm not sure that it's really worth using numpy for this. I'd just use the csv module: import csv with open('test.csv') as csvfile: reader = csv.reader(csvfile) next(reader, None) # Ignore first line of file for line in reader: index, col2, col3, col4, date = line col4 = float(col4) # Convert 4th column value to float print([col2, col3, col4]) Running this I get: $ python3 test.py ['A1', 'B1', 11.2] ['A2', 'B2', 2.5] ['A3', 'B3', 13.67] ['A4', 'B4', 14.2] ['A5', 'B5', 20.0] -- Oscar _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
