Convert long String to large Array
Would someone lend us a helping hand please...........
We're reading an ASCII data file into Mathematica 3.0 on Windows95. The
data is delimited by spaces and consists of numbers 1-12, repeating 8
a segment of which follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3....... This
is "dummy" data, actual data will not be repetitive
The Head is List and its name is nofo.
We would like to take the data and generate a 12x8 array.
We thought the following would work, but it and various changes have
not produced the desired result.
The idea was to specify the location within nofo from which to get a
value and also specify the location in the new array to place that
Could someone explain why the above does not produce what we want and
also suggest some code that will do the job?
Does anyone know of a text with extensive coverage on handling arrays
Thank you very much!!
P.S.....One other issue was just brought to my attention. What if we
want to extend our new array to make it 15x8, keeping the existing
array as is, thus each line would look like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8 9 10 11
12 13 14 15.
In essence, a 3x8 array is tacked onto the right side of our existing
array. (Again, we are not looking to generate the numbers: 13,14,15;
rather to add a 3x8 array of non repetitive data at some later date.)
If your solution can be modified to do this, great. If not, could you
also offer a suggestion on this problem as well.
Again, thank you for your help.
