Python equivalent of Matlab textscan

matlab, numpy, python, textscan

Solution

If you're translating Matlab to Python, I'll assume you're already using NumPy.

In that case, you can use `np.loadtxt` (if no values are missing) or `np.genfromtxt` (if there are missing values: I'm not sure whether Matlab's `textscan` handles that).

Give us a few more details if you need more help!

Problem

I'm working with transferring some Matlab code to Python. I'm relatively new to Python and am unsure of a Python equivalent of Matlab's `textscan` method. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
