Hi Manoj,
More C++ examples will be posted. For now, please see the sample code below
for fixed-length string:
// Create a fixed-length string
StrType fls_type(0, len_of_your_attribute); // 0 is a dummy argument
// Open your group
// Create dataspace for the attribute
DataSpace att_space(H5S_SCALAR);
// Create an attribute for the group
Attribute your_attribute = your_group.createAttribute(attr_name,
fls_type, att_space);
// Write data to the attribute
your_attribute.write(fls_type, buffer_for_attribute);
You can replace the first statement with this for variable-length string
StrType vls_type(0, H5T_VARIABLE);
