Python: How can I read in the characters from a line in a file and convert them to floats and strs, depending on if they are numbers or letters?
- by user1467577
I have a file that looks like:
1 1 C C 1.9873 2.347 3.88776
1 2 C Si 4.887 9.009 1.21
I would like to read in the contents of the file, line-by-line. When I only had numbers on the lines I used:
for line in readlines(file):
data = map(float, line.split)
But this only works when all the elements of line.split are numbers. How can I make it store the letters as strings and the numbers as floats?
