Hello Python forum

I am trying to load a 3D array from a bin file. However, when I load it is displayed as a long vector instead.

data=np.fromfile("turbine32x32x8192.bin",dtype=float, sep='')
data.shape
>> (4194304,)

where it should have the shape

data.shape
(32,32,8192)

What I am doing wrong ?

Thank you for reading!

Hello again Python Forum
I figured out a solution to the problem (Or rather I got help from an instructor)

import numpy as np
data=np.fromfile("turbine32x32x8192.bin",dtype=np.float32, sep='')

then the array becomes

Output:
data.shape 
>>(8388608,0)

Finally I can reshape the file the my desired array

data=data.reshape(32,32,8192)

Output:
data.shape
>>(32,32,8192)

Thanks for posting the solution, glad you got it working :)
