Hello Dr. Reiss,
I need to be able to read a string list from a file. The list could have a large number of a limited number of elements (aa,bb,cc,dd,ee). For example, the list could be:
{aa,bb,cc,dd,ee,ee,dd,cc,bb,aa,aa,cc,ee,dd,aa,aa}
I want to be able to assign the values of the elements red from the file to values obtained within the program, and then repopulate the list with the numerical value assigned to each element. I could not succeed with the association method you showed me.
Also, it seems Mathematica adds a double quote to each element when read from a text file. If true, how would I remove them?
Thank you
