Pandas First Steps
TXT Files
Text files are another common data format, and the pandas library makes it easy to work with them — often more straightforward than using traditional methods. To read text files, you'll often use the same function, pd.read_csv()
. However, to ensure the text file is read correctly, it's essential to use an additional parameter called sep
, which stands for separator or delimiter in the text. Here's an example:
If your text file doesn't have a header row containing column names, set the header
parameter to None
. Doing so informs pandas not to treat the first row as column names.
Note
To specify a new line as the separator, use the code:
sep='\r'
where'\r'
represents the carriage return.
Let's put this into practice!
Task
- Read the TXT file into a DataFrame (use the link below as the first argument of the function).
- Display the output on your screen.
