I am trying to read a log file that is in CSV format. The code snippet is below:
############################### import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import seaborn as sns; sns.set() import numpy as np import pandas as pd import os import csv from numpy import genfromtxt # read the CSV and get into X array os.chdir(r'D:\Users\sharanb\OneDrive - HCL Technologies Ltd\Projects\MyBackup\Projects\Initiatives\machine learning\programs\constraints') X = [] #with open("constraints.csv", 'rb') as csvfile: # reader = csv.reader(csvfile) # data_as_list = list(reader) #myarray = np.asarray(data_as_list) my_data = genfromtxt('constraints.csv', delimiter = ',', dtype=None) print (my_data) my_data_1 = np.delete(my_data, 0, axis=1) print (my_data_1) my_data_2 = np.delete(my_data_1, 0, axis=1) print (my_data_2) my_data_3 = my_data_2.astype(np.float) ################################ Here is how print (my_data_2) looks like: ############################## [['"\t"81' '"\t5c'] ['"\t"04' '"\t11'] ['"\t"e1' '"\t17'] ['"\t"6a' '"\t6c'] ['"\t"53' '"\t69'] ['"\t"98' '"\t87'] ['"\t"5c' '"\t4b'] ############################## Finally, I am trying to get rid of the strings and get array of numbers using Numpy's astype function. At this stage, I get an error. This is the error: my_data_3 = my_data_2.astype(np.float) could not convert string to float: " "81 As you can see, the string "\t"81 is causing the error. It seems to be due to char "\t". I don't know how to resolve this. Thanks for your help. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
