Reads string data from a file and converts the data to a 2D array.
This node reads a spreadsheet or spreadsheet file saved in text format. This node opens the file before reading it and closes it afterwards.
A string that uses format specifiers to determine how to convert the data into what you specify.
Syntax Elements for Creating a Format Specifier
Use the following syntax elements to create a format specifier for the input string.
Format Specifier Examples for Format
Default: %.3f
The file that this node reads.
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
Default: No error
A character or string of characters used to separate fields in the spreadsheet text. For example, a value of , (comma) specifies a single comma as the delimiter.
Default: \t — single tab character
Path to the newly created file.
Array containing each row of data read from the file.
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
