Problem reading data from file

[player1681]

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.
