Text in txt file not recognized

[mairh_tsek]

Hello all,

I created a .txt file with the coordinates (XYZ) and at the beginning I add also the name of the element. For example A1,555,434,2.

When I import the txt in dynamo the first value with the name it isn't recognized.

Can I do something in order to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance.

Has to be a CSV file in order for it to be viewed using that node. "Save as" or re-input your txt file into a csv, then import it the same way into dynamo. You may need to identify the first column as a string in order for it to register in your parameter inputs as well.

If you check the image above I used the 'importFromCSV' in order to import the txt file. And I identified the first column but I receive the warning. Is it because instead of number I have text in the first column?

Thanks!

Get rid of the first column....it recognizes the coordinates not the label.

I am aware, but you cant use that node with a .txt file. 

That node only imports .csv files. 

Use the filesystem.readtext node. Then you may need to do some list management to split values from their commas into lists.

Thank you , I used the String.split node .
