I'll doubly recommend 'h5ls' over 'h5dump -H' if you just want to
snarf dimensions from textual output. Compare
[5006 rhys@setun Desktop][1]$ h5dump -H -d /bar_rho_u_u_u sample00000.h5
HDF5 "sample00000.h5" {
DATASET "/bar_rho_u_u_u" {
COMMENT "Mean quantity sample stored using row-major indices (B-spline
coefficient, tensor component, sample number) where the B-spline basis
is defined by /Ny, /breakpoints_y, and /knots"
DATATYPE H5T_IEEE_F64LE
DATASPACE SIMPLE { ( 1, 10, 96 ) / ( 1, 10, 96 ) }
}
}
to
[5009 rhys@setun Desktop]$ h5ls sample00000.h5 | grep bar_rho_u_u_u
bar_rho_u_u_u Dataset {1, 10, 96}
where the latter is /much/ easier to parse from a shell script.
