"""
Read a table from a plain text file according to a data column
specification.
The "column" here means the column number by each character.
While the "data column" means a meaningful data which stretch multiple
columns. e.g,
------------------------------------------------------------
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 -> column
x xxx.xx xxx.x xxxx
xx xx.x xx.xx xxxx
| | | |
DC1 DC2 DC3 DC4 -> data column
------------------------------------------------------------
This table syntax is usually used in optical astronomy, e.g, SDSS tables.
Sample configuration file:
------------------------------------------------------------
## Configuration for `read_table_colspec.py`
## Date: 2016-06-25
# input table file
infile = <INPUT.TXT>
# output file in CSV format
outfile = <OUTPUT.CSV>
# data column specification
# column number is 1-based, and end column is inclusive.
[colspec]
# name = col_begin, col_end, type, comment
ID = 1, 4, int
RA = 5, 15, float, deg
Dec = 16, 26, float, deg
redshift = 27, 34, float
name = 35, -1, str
------------------------------------------------------------
