Use the standard library module csv. Something like the following is a cheap and cheerful solution: import csv import numpy def float_array_from_csv(filename, skip_header=True): f = open(filename) try: reader = csv.reader(f) floats = [] if skip_header: reader.next() for row in reader: floats.append(map(float, row)) finally: f.close() return numpy.array(floats) -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
