Example of dynamically reading groups and datasets

HDFView / Java HDF Object Package
1

Hi -
I’m trying to read a file that has the the following structure:

/DATA/GROUP1/GROUP2/TIME/VECTOR/[DATASETS]

I’ve reviewed the reading examples but I do not see any examples illustrating how I can discover the groups/datasets embedded in the file. Unlike the examples, the groups and datasets can be dynamic, so I first need to traverse the hierarchy and then discover the datasets that exist.

Can anyone please share an example? I’ve tried and reviewed a variety of APIs, but nothing immediately jumps out.

Even if I know the groups/datasets, how can I access them using the Java wrapper?

Thanks!

Hi Scott,
Do H5Literate or H5Ovisit (or their variants) meet your needs?
