Zach,

Please keep this reply on list, so we all get to learn (and I get to be 
corrected when I mess up).

Try changing the Field Delimiter Characters string to be “ “

Table to point makes points (or dots).  I don’t understand your comment about 
vectors.

Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Importing Vector (i.e., CSV text) files

I saw the comma separation, but very inconvenient not to have whitespace 
delimit. That means I have to go through 30,000 files and change the format - 
sure it only requires writing a script to change, but white space delimit is a 
fairly basic standard.

I have used the table to point filter, but I have vector data, the filter reads 
an X, Y, and Z value. I have x and y location and then Ux, and Uy. So, i have 
only been able to get dots at the x,y locations so far but no vectors.

Thanks for the help.

I’m not sure if white space works – but comma’s do work.

For instance, X, Y, Z, Var does work.

Then, use the Table to Point filter.

There is more information here:  http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Data_formats

Does that answer the question?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Importing Vector (i.e., CSV text) files

Hello:

I am trying to import vector files into Paraview which are really just csv text 
files delimited by whitespace. I am able to open the files, but they read in as 
a single column and I am unable to find the "delimit options" in any of the 
manuals or online materials.

Do vector files need to be formatted with a particular scheme in order for 
Paraview to properly read them? Thanks

Regards,

Zach
