ImportData• ImportData["file", "format"] imports data in the specified format from a file.
• ImportData["name.ext"] imports data from a file, assuming that it is in the format indicated by the file extension ext, and converts it to a Mathematica CalcCenter expression. • ImportData attempts to give a Mathematica CalcCenter expression whose meaning is as close as possible to the data in the external file.
• ImportData can handle textual and tabular data, as well as graphics and sounds.
• The following file formats are supported: "BMP", "CSV", "DICOM", "DXF", "FITS", "GIF", "HarwellBoeing","HDF", "JPEG", "List", "MAT","MatrixMarket", "PNG", "SND", "STDS", "STL", "Table", and "WAV". • Raster graphics formats are imported as either a matrix of graylevel values or a matrix containing lists of {R,G,B} values. • DXF and STL files return a 3D graphic which can be combined with other graphics using Show. • Sounds are imported as a list of amplitude sample values. For stereo sounds, sounds can also be imported as two lists of amplitude sample values. • ImportData["name.txt"] uses "Text" format.
• ImportData["name.dat"] uses "Table" format. • See also: Export.
