MATHEMATICA IMPORT/EXPORT FORMAT
Real32
Uniform sequence of IEEE single-precision numbers.
Binary data format.
Binary data format.
- Import can read arbitrary binary data as a sequence of single-precision numbers.
- Export can convert a list of arbitrary integers or reals to binary single-precision numbers.
Import and ExportImport and Export
- Import["file", "Real32"] imports any file as 32-bit IEEE single-precision numbers, returning a packed array of real numbers.
- Export["file", list, "Real32"] exports a list of real numbers to file.
- Import["file", {"Real32", elem}] or Import["file", elem ] imports the specified element from file.
- Import["file", {"Real32", {elem1, elem2, ...}}] imports multiple elements.
- See the reference pages for full general information on Import and Export.
- ImportString and ExportString support the Real32 format.
ElementsElements
- General Import elements:
-
"Elements" elements and options available in this file "Rules" full rules for each element and option "Options" rules for options, properties, and settings - Data representation element:
-
"Data" list of real numbers - By default, Import and Export use the
element. - Import["file", {"Real32", n}] reads the n
single-precision number from file. - Import returns Infinity for IEEE "infinity", and Indeterminate for IEEE "not-a-number".
- Trailing bytes are ignored if the size of the imported file is not a multiple of the data size.
OptionsOptions
- General option:
-
ByteOrdering -1 what byte ordering to use - Import option:
-
"HeaderBytes" 0 how many bytes to skip at the beginning of the file
