8.127. Write ASCII Data

Group (Subgroup)

IO (Output) (Write) (Export) (Text) (CSV) (ASCII)

Description

This filter will write the selected DataArrays to either individual files or as a single CSV style of file.

String Data Array Caveats

  • The “Maximum Tuples per Line” will not have any effect for that specific array.

  • If the output is for a single file, then each String value will be enclosed in a set of Single Quotes (’) characters.

Multiple Files

Each input data array will be written to its own output file. The name of the file will be the name of the Data Array + the extension from the parameters.

Example of multiple output files

Single File

The output data file will be a column oriented CSV file. The optional header of each column will be the name of the Data Array. If the Data Array has multiple components then the zero based index will also be appended to the data array name. For example Euler Angles have 3 components, the header would look like:

Euler_0,Euler_1,Euler_2
