New feature: implementation of h5import conversion of an ASCII plain-text file containing text data
The string type H5T_C_S1 is used to define the data (the datum is defined here as one line of text in the text file). The size is set to variable length (H5T_VARIABLE)
The space used is a 1D array with as many elements as there are lines in the ASCII file (a line is defined by the inclusion of an end of line character, ASCII number 10). A first traversal of the input text file must be made to determine the number of lines in the file and thus the dimensionality of the dataset.
New test to the test script added
text input files and teststr.h5 for h5dump to compare added
Tested: windows, linux, solaris
Purpose: New tool
Description: Pankaj created h5import tool long time ago. I am finally checking
the source code in for the 1.6 release.
Known problems: h5import test will crash if srcdir option
is used; will be fixed before the release.
Solution:
Platforms tested: vebena, arabica, modi4 were tested. h5import tests passed
I also tested on arabica with srcdir option to make sure that
there is a problem when srcdir is used. After that I disabled
h5import tests. Daily tests will build h5import, but will not run
h5import tests.
Misc. update:
