Converting text files to pandas dataframe
I have .TX0 file (some sort of csv txt file) and have converted this to a .txt file via python .readlines(), open(filename, 'w') etc method. I have this new saved txt file but when i try to convert it to a dataframe it's giving me only one column. the txt file is below :
Empty DataFrame
Columns: [ '"Software Version:", 6.3.2.0646, Date:, 19/08/2015 09:26:04\n', '"Reprocess Number:", vma2: 261519, Unnamed: 7, \n', '"Sample Name:", , Data Acquisition Time:, 18/08/2015 17:23:23\n', '"Instrument Name:", natural gas (PE ASXL-TCD/FID), Channel:, B\n', '"Rack/Vial:", 0, 0.1, Operator:, joey.walker\n', '"Sample Amount:", 1.000000, Dilution Factor:, 1.000000\n', '"Cycle:", 1, Result File :, \\\\vma2\\TotalChrom\11170_he_tcd001.rst \n', '"Sequence File :", \\\\vma\C1_C2_binary.seq \n', '"===================================================================================================================================="\n', '""\n', '""\n'.1, '"condensate analysis (HP4890 Optic - FID)"\n', '"Peak", Component, Time, Area, Height, BL\n', '"#", Name, [min], [uV*sec], [uV], \n'.1, '------, ------, ------.1, ------.2, ------.3, ------\n', '1, Unnamed: 55, 0.810, 706.42, 304.38, *BB\n', '2, CH4, 0.900, 1113518.24, 495918.41, *BB\n'.1, '3, C2H6, 1.373, 901670.23, 295381.12, *BB\n'.2, '"", Unnamed: 73, Unnamed: 74, ------.4, ------.5, \n'.2, '"".1, Unnamed: 79, Unnamed: 80, 2015894.89, 791603.91, \n'.3, '"Missing Component Report"\n', '"Component", Expected Retention (Calibration File)\n', '------.1, ------\n'.1, '"All components were found"\n', '"Report stored in ASCII file :", C:\\Shared Folders\\TotalChrom\\11170_he_tcd001.TX0 \n']]
Index: []
for easier reading:

As you can see this is comma separated. Would there be any way of transferring this text to a comma delimited dataframe?
Thanks.

Answer
You can try to use the below function and it will helps you load all the data from your local csv file
ps.read_csv()
