Here is the issue, I have recently switched from Windows to Ubuntu and some of my python scripts for analyzing data files give me errors that I am unsure how to address correctly.
The data files from my current instrumentation output something that this:
[Header]
Various information w.r.t the instrument etc.
[Data]
Status,Code,Temperature,Field, etc.........
0,0,300, 0.013, etc...
So basically, this snippet of code is meant to read the data file and parse out all the information from [Header] to [Data] and start reading the real data at the appropriate lines regardless of how the header is arranged as different instruments have different headers.
f = open('file.dat')
lines = f.readlines()
i = 0
while (lines[i]!="[Data]\n"):
i+=1
i = i + 2
This code runs fine in Windows, but in Ubuntu, the value of i always takes on the total number of line in the particular data file. So I know the issue is the handling of the "[Data]\n" line. Thanks for any help.
