Data format information might be [http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/dataservice/metadetails.asp?id=1029 here]. (Sorry if I seem patronising, it was not meant) --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 17:34, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 
: I suppose that any task should be defined in the article. The code presented for this task looks like a translation from one language into another, rather than independent implementations. Actually there is no way to verify whether they do the job or not. What would be the right output if the input file were:<pre>2008/Mar/21 -1E-2 1</pre> On second thought I would suggest to replace it to something more general and better defined text processing task. Like parsing a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values CSV file], for example. --[[User:Dmitry-kazakov|Dmitry-kazakov]] 18:37, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
