Cannot load BeijingPM25Quality using aeon v0.5.0

[KevinArmbruster]

Hi,
great toolbox so far.
I just tried to load BeijingPM25Quality and I get the error:
ValueError: could not convert string to float: '(2013-03-01 00'

If I state a download directory I can see the files are downloaded, but it seems parsing/reading them into X,y,metadata does not work.
Greetings

That is interesting. Do you mean you used aeon v0.5.0? Do you mind pasting some code here?

I just followed the example and as I understood aeon 0.5.0 is the newest version.

`
from aeon.datasets import load_regression

X, y, meta_data = load_regression("BeijingPM25Quality", extract_path="/path/to/data")
print(" Shape of X = ", X.shape)
print(" Shape of y = ", y.shape)
print(" Meta data = ", meta_data)
`

I also tried parsing it myself, starting from pandas read_csv.
It seems to me, that the file has inconsistent separators, as there is sometimes a colon ":" instead of a comma ",".

Hi, unfortunately I think it is an issue with aeon. Please raise it with aeon and try using the dataloader I have.
