Import data from a bad format

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello, I have a set of data and they were saved in a bad format (basically were saved from Python with lists of numpy arrays)
An example data file look like this, each file is supposed to be import into MATLAB as a matrix, where contents in eac [...] goes into each row, for as many row as the number of [...] the file contains. I am having trouble to import these, and it is too expensive to regenerate these data. Could anyone help me please?
*Note: I attached a zip file of an example data file .dat
*Note: I also converted an example from the source data from .dat to .txt to upload here

@Walter Roberson each [] is splitted into multiple lines (depends on the number format?), but yes it is always 25 entries in one [] group

@Walter Roberson It appears that in decimal format the 25 entries are splitted into 5 rows, and in scientific format, splitted into 7 lines

TEXTSCAN is very efficient, and imports numeric data as numeric (i.e. no fiddling around with text):
fmt = repmat('%f',1,25);
fid = fopen('example.txt');
out = textscan(fid,fmt,'EndOfLine',']','Whitespace',' \b\t\r\n[', 'CollectOutput',true);
fclose(fid);
mat = out{1}
mat = 250×25

Automagically detecting the matrix size also works, but is not documented:
fid = fopen('example.txt');
out = textscan(fid,'','EndOfLine',']','Whitespace',' \b\t\r\n[', 'CollectOutput',true);
fclose(fid);
mat = out{1}
mat = 250×25

Good thinking to use the closing bracket as newline @Stephen23; that didn't occur to me in initial response to Walter's counted attempt that fails because the count changes; hence the text processing...

If it is stored in a file and it is always exactly 25 entries per logical row, then you could use textscan,
PerRow = 25;
fmt = "[" + repmat('%f', 1, PerRow) + "]";
FID = fopen(FILENAME, 'r');
output = cell2mat( textscan(FID, fmt) );
fclose(FID)

@dpb Hi, it doesn't allow me to upload the raw file .dat, that's why I zipped it. I am going to convert it to .txt and give it a try as well.

The '%g' format has struck again -- that's what killed @Walter Roberson's approach. While not the most efficient, a simple way in MATLAB would be
f=readlines('example.txt'); % import as string array
f=strrep(f,"[",""); % remove the brackets
f=strrep(f,"]",""); % remove the brackets
f=join(f); % turn into long string
f=strtrim(split(f)); % convert to array
f=f(strlength(f)>0);
data=str2double(strtrim(split(f))); % convert
whos data

Hi, thank you so much for your inputs! However, I cannot run any other versions of matlab except for r2020a, and the readlines function doesn't seem to be available here.

f=textread('example.txt','%s','delimiter','\n','whitespace','');
f=string(strtrim(f));
then. textread has been deprecated, but it's often still of real use/value where textscan is more trouble to deal with...

Based on @dpb's and @Walter Roberson's answers, I worked out the following codes that is valid for R2020a:
FID = fopen('example.txt');
data = textscan(FID,'%s');
fclose(FID);
stringData = string(data{:}); % import as string array
f=strrep(stringData,"[",""); % remove the brackets
f=strrep(f,"]",""); % remove the brackets
f=join(f);% turn into long string
f=strtrim(split(f));% convert to array
f=f(strlength(f)>0);
data=str2double(strtrim(split(f))); % convert
data=reshape(data,[],length(data)/25)';
data(1:3,:)
