What is the "real" problem you want to solve? A number of my colleagues need to extract data from hdf files for use in other programs that can import ASCII. They often want a command line (batch) tool to generates files that can easily be imported with a minimum of manual editing. There are a number of "matrix" languages that support hdf5 and provide flexible format controls for writing ASCII files: python, R/S+ (stats language), gnudatalanguage/IDL, octave/Matlab. > My question is: what parameters should i useng in h5dump to get output > exactly as in "Export Data to File" command ? Is that really the ideal format for your task? -- George N.
