Hi Nathan,
Does the example c++/examples/h5group.cpp in our distribution help?

Can you point me to an example of writing out a fixed length string that uses compression? Thanks!

I've been using the C++ API and writing scalar strings to my dataset, but I can't figure out how to use data chunking so that I can enable compression. Variable-length data cannot be compressed due to the way we store it in the HDF5 library. Dana _______________________________________________ Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion.
