I would like to make one table that consist of data (Columns) from multiple (7) input files. I know for a pgfplot this can be done by simply loading data from different sources into one graph. I have however not been able to transfer this method to tables.
Instead I was intending to load all the data using \pgfplotstableread{⟨file name⟩}{⟨\macro⟩} and then add the columns via the macros as described in the manual.
The problem with this approach however is that I could not figure out how to specify any of the source file formatting.
- header=false
- col sep=&
Is there a way to do this?
What I got thus far:
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
% Usepackages
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{tabularx, ragged2e} % CC
\newcolumntype{L}[1]{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{#1}} % linksbündig mit Breitenangabe
\newcolumntype{C}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{#1}} % zentriert mit Breitenangabe
\newcolumntype{R}[1]{>{\raggedleft\arraybackslash}p{#1}} % rechtsbündig mit Breitenangabe
% Path definitions
\newcommand{\CCData}{../../Data/CC}
\begin{document}
\pgfplotstableread{\CCData/results/1318AaBb-1day.txt}{\AfAaBbA}
\pgfplotstableread{\CCData/results/1318AaBb-2day.txt}{\AfAaBbB}
% missing part but I don't even get to load the to fiels
\end{document}
If I compile this I get the following error:
./1318AaBb-1day.tex:21: Package pgfplots Error: Table '../../Data/CC/results/13

Loading the first file directly with \pgfplotstabletypeset[options]{\CCData/results/1318AaBb-1day.txt} does however work.

I can replicate this behavior. And I don't know why but I suspect there is some Unicode problem lurking somewhere.
I couldn't find what the offending characters are but if I import your data to Excel and export back again it starts reading the table with no problem. Then I also used
filecontentsenvironment by copy pasting your data. Didn't work but if I overwrite the file with some legitimate input and then import your data after sanitizing it works again.So my bet is on your data encoding or something related.
