I want to ListPlot the data in my txt file.

In[5]:= data = 
 Import["C:UsersMitjaDocuments

ovaacrocurvature.txt",
“Table”]

Out[5]= {{-3726, 5094}, {-3646, 5392}, {-3518, 5490}, {-3278, 
  5723}, {-3163, 5862}, {-2744, 6218}, {-2560, 6283}, {-2037,

It Imports data as Table perfectly, but it does not want to Transpose?.. :frowning: WHY?

2

*** Here is the file.

3

The Part commands (in data[[All, 1]] and data[[All, 2]]) do not succeed because the last element in data, {}, does not have a first or second part (as the message says).

4

The result of Transpose is that points and data are equal, same structure, same values. Your text file has as extra line in it.

5

To get rid of the extraneous {} in your data execute the following:

data=DeleteCases[data,{}]
