Problem reading data from file - player1681 - May-22-2020

I am trying to read a simple colum vector as

mediaXoriginal = open('posx_mean_no_acoplo_tf_multiple.txt', 'r')

and then

print(mediaXoriginal.read)

However, the resulting output is

Output:
<built-in method read of _io.TextIOWrapper object at 0x0000018430573EA0>

The file, posx_mean_no_acoplo_tf_multiple.txt only has numbers and I need to have a vector to later use an interpolation function.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

You must not show the (address of) the function, but execute the function by adding ().

print(mediaXoriginal.read())

EDIT: I have found the syntax error. Your answer works fine. Thanks.
