Rows are lost when reading this tab-separated file with pandas read_csv

Question

I have a .text file with following format, where fields (index number, name and message) are separated by \\t (tab-separated):

712 ben          


        

Answer 1

I think you need add parameter quoting:

import csv

chat = pd.read_csv("f.text",sep = "\t", header = None, usecols = [2], quoting=csv.QUOTE_NONE)
