I'm trying to read google ngram csv files.
But I found that the contents which I read out are different from the decribed on google website.
The website:http://books.google.com/ngrams/datasets[^]

The contents I read out like:

# 1574 1 1 1
# 1584 6 6 1
# 1614 1 1 1
# 1631 115 100 1

The description of google website like:

circumvallate 1978 313 215 85
circumvallate 1979 183 147 77

well, why the '#' instead of the words?

help me!!!
thanks!!

The description is merely an example of the contents of one of the file types, it is not an absolute description of every file. The first item in each line is an ngram, which is composed of n tokens, as clearly described in the link you posted above.

well,if you read carefully on website,you can see the description:
"As an example, here are the 30,000,000th and 30,000,001st lines from file 0 of the English 1-grams (googlebooks-eng-all-1gram-20090715-0.csv.zip):
circumvallate 1978 313 215 85
circumvallate 1979 183 147 77
"
And the cotents I read out is from the same file.
