Hello all,

Being new to PDL, I was wondering how can I replace non-existant values with 0, while reading them.

Suppose I have the following tab seperated text file (a.txt):

1 0 0.1000 0.1000 0.8000
1 0 0.1000 0.1000 0.2750 0.5250
2 0 0.1000 0.1000 0.8000

then I use the following perl function:


($x, $y, @arr_I) = rcols 'a.txt', { COLSEP => "\t",PERLCOLS => 0 } ;
$x includes the first column and $y includes the second. @arr_I includes colums 3,4,5. However I would like it to include the 6 the column as well with ( 0, 0.5250, 0).

I was wondering if there is any way to do that. Thanks in advance!
