Recipe Objective.

How to read text files using dask.

Dask Dataframes works very similar to pandas DataFrames it can read and store data in many formats similarly.Here we will read the data with the popular TXT formats.

Step 1- Importing Libraries.

import dask.dataframe as dd #!pip install dask[dataframe]

Step 2- Define the path

We have to define the path of the dataset from where we are going to read the text and process later.

df = dd.read_csv('path/file/mydrive.txt', sep = ' ', header = None)
