Dear all, I have a .txt file which contains multiple tables and I would like to read these tables separately in order to create graphs for each one. The tables are separated by a blank line, have a variable number of lines, fixed nr. Of rows, have a header and a comment above the header (#) which contains a specific word that identifies each table. (see example below). It would be possible to change the layout of the .txt data a bit (Add a word, remove comment etc..) I would be extremely grateful if anyone could help me with this daunting task :-) Example: # CoordA Image X Y Z MeasuredMove MachineMove vf_36.png -114.345475 -89.043448 556.073402 0 0 vf_37.png -111.118715 -89.978534 606.040764 50.080172 50.000000 vf_38.png -107.911209 -90.901958 656.025557 50.096111 50.000000 vf_39.png -104.693931 -91.814392 705.982620 50.068868 50.000000 vf_40.png -101.459549 -92.730113 755.983835 50.114082 50.000000
