Hi everyone,

I'm trying to convert a .pmap file from photons into .pdc format
(particles)

It seems straightforward enough, but I'm having problems reading the
binary format of the .pmap file

if you open the .pmap file in ultraEdit you can see that its structure
is like this:

I would assume that the basics would be something like below, but I
don't completely understand how the command works

import struct

f = open("example.pmap", "rb")
print struct.unpack("somethingAboutTheFormat",f.read())

f.close()


thanks for your help

Nick
