Hello everyone, Im super new to coding but increasingly in need of it at work. Im have task stacked because of this problems, that I cannot figure out how to solve looking on the internet after trying many many things that looked similar to me.
I have multiple data files of the form (see below).
My question is how can I copy the two columns with the size and rotation data, which is the only one that I need from the file. And then how to do that for several (1000) data files like this.
Thank you very much in advance

Please use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code. You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the icon that currently looks like </> in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags [code] and [/code] by hand.)

Hi,
What you need is a parser. I doubt you can find one that answers exactly your need because we have not a universal parser and every one has a particular data file format.
So, in a first time, you must write a parser for one file, than you can make it process all the files in a directory.
Parsing, in this case, is basicaly, String processing, you will your file line after another until the begining of data and stop when the data end.
Very difficult to talk about it without specifying additional informations about the file or the programing language.
