Dear Python Community, I am an engineering and I am experiencing some trouble. Having output data from other software I want to use it. To achieve this I decided to use Python since this language is the best known for me.
So.. for my future Python script, the input data are in form of: 1 1233.2E-3 2123.2323 2E+2 3453.3E+1 1233.2E-3 2123.2323 2E+2 3453.3E+1 1233.2E-3 2123.2323 2E+2 3453.3E+1 2 1233.2E-3 2123.2323 2E+2 3453.3E+1 1233.2E-3 2123.2323 2E+2 3453.3E+1 1233.2E-3 2123.2323 2E+2 3453.3E+1 and so on... The number 1 and 2 and so on, are the numbers of measurments, which are different in number depending on analyzed case. So sometimes it could be 3 and sometimes 1000 or more. What I want to achieve, I want to compare or rather get difference between two similar input files. I tried to work with "readline" command, however it is hard to use it (for me) since input files are different in its size (3,1000 or more input points). Therefore, I decided to ask you for help how to do it. Esspecially how to make that python script which will be reading data, each line, and each column of input file and therefore will compare it with different input file giving finally difference size between each measures for example: First data at point 1 minus first data from point 1 from different input file: (1233.2E-3) - (1233.3E-3) = -0.1E-3 Looking forward for you answer, Best regards, Krystian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
