AttributeError: 'numpy.str_' object has no attribute 'decode'

[Gabriel Rubio]

Hi everyone,

I'm encountering an issue when trying to read a .dat file in Google Colab. A few months ago, the same code worked perfectly, but now I keep getting an error. The file itself hasn't been modified, so I suspect the problem might be related to a recent update in Colab or one of its dependencies.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any suggestions on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for your help!
