Hello.
I want to read numerical data from an output file, which also contains
text data.
The file test.t19 is as follows:
id
1
=beg=50800 (Nodal Coordinates)
1 0.000000E+00 0.000000E+00
2 0.150000E+01 0.000000E+00
3 0.150000E+01 0.150000E+01
4 0.000000E+00 0.150000E+01
I want to read the coordinates of nodes 1~4.
So what I did is as follows:
snum = OpenRead["test.t19"]
FindList[snum, "Coordinates"]
ReadList[snum, Number, RecordLists -> True]
The result was
{{0}}
,though I expected
{{1,0.000000E+00,0.000000E+00},{2,0.150000E+01,0.000000E+00},{3,
0.150000E+01,0.150000E+01},{4,0.000000E+00,0.150000E+01}}
I thought that the pointer would move to the next line of the line
including the word "Coordinates."
Can some one help me on my problem?
