Hello All, thank you all for the quick and numerous replies! I went with Samuels version. However while trying to understand the syntax and looking at the help: https://help.scilab.org/docs/6.0.0/en_US/csvRead.html I stumbled over: regexpcomments a string: a regexp to remove lines which match. (default: [])
which I found misleading / incomplete description. I suggest instead (or similar) a string: a regexp to match lines to 'comments' or to be ignored if 'comments' is omitted. (default: []) cheers richard -- View this message in context: http://mailinglists.scilab.org/Advice-needed-on-file-parsing-tp4036587p4036608.html Sent from the Scilab users - Mailing Lists Archives mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@lists.scilab.org http://lists.scilab.org/mailman/listinfo/users
