: I suppose that any task should be defined in the article. The code presented for this task looks like a translation from one language into another, rather than independent implementations. Actually there is no way to verify whether they do the job or not. What would be the right output if the input file were:<pre>2008/Mar/21 -1E-2 1</pre> On second thought I would suggest to replace it to something more general and better defined text processing task. Like parsing a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values CSV file], for example. --[[User:Dmitry-kazakov|Dmitry-kazakov]] 18:37, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

::If you can find such malformed data in the readings.txt file then it becomes an issue. Asking such what-if questions seem to be finding ways to fail.
::On the Python, AWK, and Perl examples being similar: people are able to submit their own solutions in those languages if they think their solutions better fit the usual style of writing in Python/Perl/AWK, indeed someone suggests changes to the AWK solution in the newsgroup although they weren't obvious to me. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 08:07, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
