Hi Justin,
I tried it and the tutorial topic that was previously mentioned on outputting an HDF5 dataset into ASCII (http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/Tutor/cmdtoolcvrt.html#ascii\) unfortunately does not work well with compound datatypes, such as tables. The h5dump output will be vertical and contain unwanted bracket characters. For example, here is a snippet of the ASCII output you get from running h5dump (with the
-d, -o, -y, -w options) with the file created by the table example from the High Level tutorial (ex_table_01.c):
{
"zero",
0,
0,
0,
0
}, {
"one",
10,
10,
1,
10
}, {
-- >8 cut ---
I entered an enhancement report to add a way from the command-line to export a simple table in an HDF5 file into an ASCII file (that can then be imported into Excel).
Thanks!

I think this tutorial will help you.

I am using the HDF Viewer to look at .hdf5-formatted output files from
a river model. Basically there are a number of locations (identified
by a unique number) that each have two output tables associated with
them. Is there any easy way to batch import this information to Excel
(vs. what I’m doing now is just opening each table and copying/pasting)? Thanks.
