Hi, I was confusing dot and space in my previous post... the issue is with
space character as separator.
I'm trying to read a text files generated by another ("old") program which i
can't modify or configure: fields are separated by 2 spaces and one of the
space can be replaced by a negative sign mark - thus keeping the filed's
width constant.
There's an issue when importing data into scilab thanks to the function
powerful csvRead function : it interprets the 2 consecutive spaces as 2
different fields thus it expects that this is the case along the whole file:
and it is not the case as soon you have a negative value (see attached
file).issue-readCsv.txt
I know that the text file format is not very reliable but it is what i have
: do you have any workaround using csvRead function as it is?
Thanks,
David
