Read an Array of Arrays separated by blank lines in Julia-CodePudding

I have an array of arrays stored as blocks of tabular data in a textfile. The blocks have different number of rows but the same number of columns. Like this:

And so on. I would like to read them in Julia and to end with an array of arrays, or an array of 2 dimensional arrays, like this:

a=[ [7, 9; 9 ,9], [7, 1; 1, 1 ; 3 3 ]] ...

I am trying with different ideas with do syntax, but I am being not very succesfull yet.

aux=[]
open("cell.dat") do f
    aux=[]
    aux2=[]
    for line in eachline(f)
        if line != ""
            aux2=vcat(aux2,line)
        else
            print("tuabuela")
            aux=vcat(aux,aux2)
            print(aux, aux2)
            aux2=[]
        end
    end
end

I end with an empty array!

CodePudding user response：

There are many ways to do it. Suppose the file is not huge and you have read your file to String called dat:

In that case you can do:

julia> readdlm.(IOBuffer.(split(dat,"\n\n")))
3-element Vector{Matrix{Float64}}:
 [7.0 9.0; 9.0 9.0]
 [7.0 1.0; 1.0 1.0; 3.0 3.0]
 [4.0 1.0]
