I have a large data set. Here is a part of it:

{1., 18.6, 460.4346}
{2., 28.4, 460.4346}
{3., 38.2, 460.4346}
{4., 48., 460.4346}

How to put a comma separator using mathematica command between the curly brackets so that it converts to table as follows: {{1., -28.6, 46.4346},{2., -28.4, 46.4346},{3., -28.2, 46.4346},{4., -28., 46.4346}}.

Here I put the commas by hand. Thanks

  • $\begingroup$ the problem is that its too long and takes many hours to run. Even I provide the source, still need tailoring the data. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ If you are stuck with the output of For[Print ....] just cut the text out of the notebook, paste it into a text editor, edit it, then cut'n'paste back. ? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I copied to the editor and then imported. It now inserts commas, but now the data output in the form, "{1., 18.6, 460.4346}" "{2., 28.4, "460.4346"}" "{3., 38.2, "460.4346"}" "{4., 48., "460.4346"}" $\endgroup$

Copy paste data and save as txt file.

dnc = ReadList["C:/data_no_commas.txt"]
Map[Head, dnc, {2}]
Map[Head, dnc, {1}]

enter image description here

I agree with other comments that this should be natively generated.

  • $\begingroup$ I am already getting this, there is nothing new here. Do you know how to remove "..." from the curly brackets? $\endgroup$
