用pandas读取rpt文件

Question

I read rpt data to pandas by using:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_fwf("2014-1.rpt", skiprows=[1], nrows=150)

I actually follow the anwser here However, for some columns, seperation is not accurate. It is sample of what I get:

Country   Order Date Device   Category
UK        2014-01-03 Desktop  Shoes
IT        2014-01-03 Desktop  Shoes
FR        2014-01-04 Desktop  Dress
FR        2014-01-04 Tablet   Dress
US        2014-01-05 Desktop  Bags
US        2014-01-06 Desktop  Bags
UK        2014-01-07 Tablet   Dress

For instance it reads Order Date and Device columns as a single column. Actually, it is just an example, there are many columns like this. How to solve it? Do you have any idea? Actually these columns with problems might have fixed widths

This question is old, but here is an answer. You can read it as a csv using pandas. I have used this for a variety of rpt files and it has worked.

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("2014-1.rpt", skiprows=[1], nrows=150)
