Delete recurring character from Matrix
Hey this might be pretty simple but I can't seem to figure it out, I'm pretty new to this. I have a matrix of data imported from the web that looks something like this (only many times longer):
773 P
428 P
-121 P
-878 P
-946 P
-1220 P
-1430 P
-815 P
2320 P
7180 P
9280 P
10300 P
10800 P
11500 P
I need to remove the 'P' from every line and find the average of the numbers. I can't offset the matrix because the different lengths of the numbers. Any clues?
Thanks all!
Aaron
Something like this should do the job..
Thanks LSKA, that didn't quite get it. I think it's because of the way the data is imported. It seems that each digit/character is housed as a cell in the matrix individually rather than the whole integer. I'm trying to pull in the numbers in the next to last column here:
using the patch that was pasted here:
https://cycling74.com/forums/how-to-input-weather-data-in-max/
I can extract a single row of the number and use that, but not the column. When I offset the matrix to narrow down the options the offset is based on each character not each column as seen on the web.
maybe this?
