In data analysis, data is often stored in text formatted files, where values are written in columns on a text line.The file may contain comments, usually starting with `#`, unused or uninteresting columns or multiple files can contain data of interest.Consequently, it maybe useful to be have a python shortcut to:- read one or several files one after the other- or put some files side by side (i.e. append the columns together)- filter out commented or empty lines.This module provides one function that wraps around a file iterator, allowing the file(s) to be read easily.
