LIGO_LW tables should read ASCII/CSV with unified I/O read() method
The LIGO_LW
format tables imported from glue
should be able to read space-, tab-, and comma-separated text files using the standard unified read()
method.
The following simple example works fine for reading CSV and is easily adaptable for other delimiters:
import numpy
from gwpy.table.lsctables import (New, SnglBurstTable)
from gwpy.time import LIGOTimeGPS
trigs = New(SnglBurstTable, columns=['peak_time', 'peak_time_ns', 'snr', 'central_freq'])
for t, f, snr in numpy.loadtxt('mytrigs.csv', delimiter=','):
row = trigs.RowType()
row.set_peak(LIGOTimeGPS(float(t)))
row.central_freq = f
row.snr = snr
trigs.append(row)
