Hello,

HDFView can import text files. Please see section 5.6 of the HDFView User's 
Guide 
http://www.hdfgroup.org/products/java/hdf-java-html/hdfview/UsersGuide/ug05spreadsheet.html#ug05import.

Basics steps are:

1. In the main HDFView menu go to Tools --> User Options. In the "Data" row 
change Data Delimiter option from Tab to Comma. 
2. Open or create a new file and create an empty dataset, then open it. You 
will get a new window with the default values (0) shown. 
3. Go to the "Table" tab and choose "Import Data from Text File". 

Make sure you save the changes by closing the file before exiting HDFView.

If you have data separated by tabs or spaces, you can also use h5import 
http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/Tools.html#Tools-Import.
