Python: Splitting a 1-D Columnar Array into Several Columns

Question

I have a created an array from text file data that has elements that look like this:

19480101 22.4  2.24
19490101 33.1  3.31

However, each of these rows is just one element in the array. This results in the array being a 1-D column. How can I split it up at the whitespaces to create an array with 3 columns instead of one?

Did my answer solve your problem? If so, please check the tick to the left of my answer (so that does not show up in unanswered Q). If not, please specify, what do you need. — quapka

Use split method on string:

print('19480101 22.4  2.24'.split())    
print('19490101 33.1  3.31'.split())
# outputs
['19480101', '22.4', '2.24']
['19490101', '33.1', '3.31']
