Summary  
This chapter explains how to import plain-text, delimited files into a DataFrame by using a generic read function with parameters for custom delimiters and header handling.

General domain of usage  
Data analysis

Watch this video for a step-by-step explanation of how to read TXT files using pandas. You'll see how to use the `pd.read_csv()` function, set the correct `sep` parameter for text files, and handle files without column headers. This visual guide will reinforce the concepts from the chapter and help you confidently read and process TXT data in your own projects.

`pandas` で **テキストファイル** を読み込むには、同じ関数 `pd.read_csv()` を使用可能。テキストファイルを正しく読み込むためには、**区切り文字** を指定する追加パラメータ `sep` の利用が重要。

```python
# Importing pandas library
import pandas as pd

# Reading a text file into a DataFrame
text_data = pd.read_csv('file.txt', sep='\r', header=None)
```

テキストファイルにカラム名を含む **ヘッダー行** がない場合、`header` パラメータを `None` に設定。これにより、`pandas` は最初の行をカラム名として扱わない。

テキストファイルで一般的な改行を区切り文字として使用する場合、`sep='\r'` を設定。ここで `'\r'` はキャリッジリターンを表し、新しい行を示す特殊文字。

注意
