Reading a text file with a distinctive pattern

Hi guys,

I have this text file I have to read which looks like the following:

[10000000,35000000,25000000]

[[0,0,0,1,0,0],[0,0,0,0,1,0],[0,0,0,0,0,1]]

The only thing I now before extracting this information is whether the single, double array but don't know the length of the array I was wondering what method to use to extract this information. I've looked at possibly regex or using the tokens but having. Just needed something to start with.

Thanks,
Stephan

Do you mean that you know in advance if the text holds a series of one-dimensional vs two-dimensional arrays? If one type of array, are all lines the same type? In other words, if a line holds two-dimensional array information, do all lines hold a single two-dimensional array? How will you know what type of array is present? Also, are all numbers ints?

The more information you can give us, the greater the detail on the data's regularity, the easier it will be for someone to solve.

Yes

If one type of array, are all lines the same type? In other words, if a line holds two-dimensional array information, do all lines hold a single two-dimensional array?

Yes, well they could also be on separate lines like
[[0,0,0,1,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,1,0],
[0,0,0,0,0,1]]

How will you know what type of array is present? Also, are all numbers ints?

All the arrays contain ints
