About Read HDF5 file

Hdf-forum archives

Hi everyone,

I met some problem on read the .h5 files.
The software I'm using now outputs HDF5 files (.h5). I'm a new guy to HDF.
Anyone can tell me how I can read the hdf5 files? so that I can do some
process of the data in output result as I want.
I found the application HDFview. It can read the file, but I couldn't do
any thing ( like add or subtract etc.)

Hi,

if you want to read the files and perform basic analysis (not high-performance computing), I'd recommend python and the h5py library, or matlab, depending on your preferences. I believe (but don't know for sure) that Mathematica also reads hdf5 files.

Also, you can dump hdf5 files to ASCII text using the command-line program h5dump. From there, you can read the text into any programming language and/or environment.
