Hi,
Some examples on using Export, Import and Readlist pasted below. There
are subtle differences, when using Import. Best to check with small examples to
verify that what you want is what you get. My apologies for the extra
formats introduced by Mathematica during the copy paste part. I have
indicated where the quotation(" ") marks are needed.
In[21]:=
example1 = {{1, 1, 1, 1}, {2, 2, 2, 2}, {3, 3, 3, 3}, {4, 4, 4, 4}};
In[2]:=
?Export
"Export[\"file.ext\", expr] exports data to a file, converting it to a
format \
corresponding to the file extension ext. Export[\"file\", expr,
\"format\"] \
exports data to a file, converting it to the specified format."
In[27]:=
Export["file.txt", example1, "List"] (* double quotes needed around
file.txt and List only *)
Out[27]=
"file.txt"
In[29]:=
ReadList["file.txt"] (* double quotes needed here *)
Out[29]=
{{1, 1, 1, 1}, {2, 2, 2, 2}, {3, 3, 3, 3}, {4, 4, 4, 4}}
OR
In[34]:=
Import["file.txt", "List"] (*Likewise here*)
Out[34]=
{"{1,", 1, 1, "1}", "{2,", 2, 2, "2}", "{3,", 3, 3, "3}", "{4,", 4, 4,
"4}"}
OR
In[34]:=
Import["file.txt", "List"] (* Ditto for double quotes*)
Out[34]=
{"{1,", 1, 1, "1}", "{2,", 2, 2, "2}", "{3,", 3, 3, "3}", "{4,", 4, 4,
"4}"}
OR
In[35]:=
Import["file.txt"]
Out[35]=
"{1, 1, 1, 1}\n{2, 2, 2, 2}\n{3, 3, 3, 3}\n{4, 4, 4, 4}\n"d
