Dear Colleagues:
I have to read an external file.txt:
ReadList["D:\theirfile.txt", Record, RecordList->True]//N
This works and yields the appropriately partitioned list but gives me - as
InputForm proves - a list in which the numbers are (expletive deleted)
words:
mylistoftheirfile = {{"0.001, 0.2, ..."}, {"..."}, ....}
How can I convert the "words" to plain rational numbers that will be
amenable to a principal component analysis, my ultimate aim?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Matthias Bode
