hi all, i have a file of 3x3 matrix of decimal numbers(tab separated). like this :
0.02 0.38 0.01 0.04 0.32 0.00 0.03 0.40 0.02 now i want to read 1 row and get the sum of a particular row. but when i am trying with the following code, i am getting errors : *code*: " ln1=open("A.txt","r+") # file "A.txt" contains my matrix lines1=ln1.readlines() n_1=[ ] for p1 in range (0,len(lines1)): f1=lines1[p1] n_1.append((f1) ) print n_1 print sum(n_1[0]) " *output*: ['0.0200\t0.3877\t0.0011\n', '0.0040\t0.3292\t0.0001\n', '0.0355\t0.4098\t0.0028\n', '0.0035\t0.3063\t0.0001\n', '0.0080\t0.3397\t0.0002\n'] Traceback (most recent call last): File "A_1.py", line 20, in <module> print sum(nodes_1[0]) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/core/fromnumeric.py", line 993, in sum return _wrapit(a, 'sum', axis, dtype, out) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/core/fromnumeric.py", line 37, in _wrapit result = getattr(asarray(obj),method)(*args, **kwds) TypeError: cannot perform reduce with flexible type * what I think:* as the list is in form of '0.0200\t0.3877\t0.0011\n' , n_1[0] takes it as a whole string which includes "\t" , i think thats why they are giving error. now how can i read only required numbers from this line '0.0200\t0.3877\t0.0011\n' and find their sum ? can you kindly help me out how to properly code thing . thank you, regards
