I want to convert .csv file to a Numpy array

I would like to convert a mydata.csv file to a Numpy array.

I have a matrix representation mydata.csv file (The matrix is 14*79 with signed values without any header name.)

-0.094391   -0.086641   0.31659 0.66066 -0.33076    0.02751 …
-0.26169    -0.022418   0.47564 0.39925 -0.22232    0.16129 …
-0.33073    0.026102    0.62409 -0.098799   -0.086641   0.31832 …
-0.22134    0.15488 0.69289 -0.26515    -0.021011   0.47096 …

I thought this code would work for this case.

import numpy as np

data = np.genfromtxt('mydata.csv', dtype=float, delimiter=',', names=False)

but it did not work.

and I would like to have final Numpy data shape as data.shape = (14, 79)

My error message looks like this though..

For this, you first create a list of CSV files (file_names) that you want to append. Then you can export this into a single CSV file by reshaping Numpy-Array. This will help you to move forward:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

combined_csv_files = pd.concat( [ pd.read_csv(f) for f in file_names ])

Now, if you want to Export these files into Single .csv-File, use like:

combined_csv_files.to_csv( "combined_csv.csv", index=False)

Now, in order to obtain Numpy Array, you can move forward like this:

data_set = pd.read_csv('combined_csv.csv', header=None)
data_frames = pd.DataFrame(data_set)

required_array = np.array(data_frames.values)
print(required_array)

Here you can also reshape Numpy Array by using:

required_array.shape = (100, 14, 79)

I have perform simple test on cmd to confirm this: 

>>> y = np.zeros((2, 3, 4))
>>> y.shape
(2, 3, 4)
>>> y.shape = (3, 8)
>>> y
array([[ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.]])

Try this:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
mydata = pd.read_csv("mydata.csv")
mydata_array = np.array(mydata)

Out:
array([[-0.26169 , -0.022418,  0.47564 ,  0.39925 , -0.22232 ,  0.16129 ],

False is a bad value for names:

In [350]: np.genfromtxt(txt, names=False)                                       
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
TypeError: object of type 'bool' has no len()

names=None would ok, but that's the default value, so it's not needed.

It looks like the delimiter is whitespace. I don't see any commas. The default dtype is float.
