Function adas.strlist2array

Convert a list of strings containing numbers, typically from an adf file, to a numpy array.

Parameters

inlist : list

a list of strings.

n : int, optional

break the line at every nth position.

Returns

data : float

a numpy 1D array of floats.

Notes

The routine recognizes the D scientific format from fortran, 1.23D+02.

If n is set, split each line at every nth position since some fortran outputs do not leave any space between numbers.

Inverse routine of array2strlist.
