Hello,
   Thank you very much for your response.  I have another question, I found a 
tutorial which lists a program which will convert a .msh file to a .dat file, 
called gmsh_tet_to_r3t.exe.  I cannot seem to find this program anywhere, can 
you please tell me where I can find it?  Thank you very much.
Hey Ashley,

"I found a tutorial" is not very specific, so I assume you did not find it on the gmsh website. And since a *.dat file can be any kind of file, your question is not really related to gmsh in general bur rather specific to the program you want to use afterwards. It looks like someone has written a small executable which converts the gmsh output to something you need for further processing with your specific program.

But you are lucky! I am a PhD student in Earth Science as well and I assume you want to use R3t, the geoelectrical modeling and inversion code by Andrew Binley!? If so, you can download the latest version from his website then you will find a gmsh2r3t python script that I wrote a few years ago. If you have a Python interpreter installed (www.python.org), then you can simply double-click on it and you will see a small GUI asking for the *.msh file. If you need any additional help, feel free to contact me.

Good luck
Florian

      I am a Rutgers PhD student and I am trying to learn how to use
gmsh for the first time.  After creating a point in gmsh, I save the
file and click on edit file and a blank version of notepad opens up.
I have to actually navigate through notepad to find the file I saved,
and even then, it does not have the header with the date and time the
file was created.  It just has the following information:



(Note: I went to optionsà advancedà text editor and entered in the
path to my notepad application, in other words C:\Windows\notepad.exe.
Am I supposed to enter in something else?  When a blank notepad opens,
I go to notepadà open file and open the .geo file which reads:))

  Point(1) = {0, 0, 0, 0.4};

As you can see, it has no header with the date and time.  I don’t know
if I am doing something wrong, or if it is a bug with the gmsh
program.  Is there an older version of gmsh available for me to download?  
Thank you.
Hello.  What you're describing seems like the behaviour I expect from Gmsh.  
Why do you expect a header?  I think the operating system will know the date 
and time of last modification; or you could add a comment manually if it's the 
time of creation that's to be preserved.
