The following data shows a few lines from the file readings.txt (as used in the [[Data Munging]] task).


The data comes from a pollution monitoring station with twenty four instruments monitoring twenty four aspects of pollution in the air. Periodically a record is added to the file constituting a line of 49 white-space separated fields, where white-space can be one or more space or tab characters.

The fields (from the left) are:
DATESTAMP [ VALUEn FLAGn ] * 24
DATESTAMP [ VALUEn FLAGn ] * 24
i.e. a datestamp followed by twenty four repetitions of a floating point instrument value and that instruments associated integer flag. Flag values are >= 1 if the instrument is working and < 1 if there is some problem with that instrument, in which case that instrument's value should be ignored.
