Upload csv file as numbers (floating?) and extract element, row, and column

[bentaz]

Hello,

I've been trying for a couple days to upload a csv file as a 2D matrix of numerical values (e.g. 1+2=3) so that I can extract individual numbers, rows, and, columns. I am using numpy. The input csv file is has four rows and three columns.

This is as close as I've gotten:

import numpy as np
import csv 
with open('C:\\Users\\...\\matrix.csv') as File:  
    reader = csv.reader(File, delimiter=',')
    for data in reader:  
        data = np.matrix(data, dtype=float)
        x = data.shape        
        print (x)

This gives me four 1x3 matrices instead of a 4x3 matrix. Thoughts?

Thank you,
Ben
