filename ='dst_2005_iaga.dat'
with open(filename) as f:
data=f.readlines()
f.close()
import csv
reader = csv.reader(data)
print data
You don't need the `csv` module unless you're actually parsing the file. If you just want to print it, that's not necessary. You can just do:
`print data`
after your `data = f.readlines()`
Also, there's no need to close the file with `f.close()` since you're using a context manager already (the `with` statement).
This kind of question will get much better answers on StackOverflow, since we can't create formatted code blocks here, and that's particularly important for Python code.
Dear Manu,
file = open('newfile.txt', 'r')
print file.read()
A helpful link.
Best Regards.

@sohelia if you do that, you should also close the file afterwards. Howver using the context manager is a better way of ensuring the file gets closed.
Please find the program
fname = 'dst_2005_iaga.dat'
import csv
date, time, doy, dst=[ ], [ ], [ ], [ ]
with open(fname, 'r') as f:
reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter ='\t')
print(reader)
for row in reader:
rsplitted = row[0].split(' ')
date.append(rsplitted[0])
time.append(rsplitted[1])
doy.append(rsplitted[2])
dst.append(rsplitted[6])
print (date)
print(time)
print(doy)
print(dst)
Try the attached code for reading your ascii file (I would recommend to use always a comment character, e.g. "#", at the beginning of header lines). Notice that the first column (date) was just transformed to float, not very useful in this fashion.
import IO
xy = IO.readAscii('dst_2005_iaga.dat', commentChar='D')
plot(xy[:,2],xy[:,3])
cheers
