Read Text File Data
This is a small function I wrote to solve the eternal nuisance or trying to read in experimental data from a bunch of text files containing similar data.
e.g.
solution_001.txt
solution_002.txt
.
.
.
solution_00457.txt
All having a similar data structure in them.
The delimiters and the type of data can be tweaked within the code. This is a little hard-coded to meet one of my demands. Please notice that there are 4 parts of reading in the data and some stray characters such as '('. These can obviously be tweaked to suit specific needs. This function should give a general structure for such data reading from multiple files.
