Problems copy data from HDF view into Excel

Hdf-forum archives
1

Dear all,

I have installed the Mac intel 64-bit version of HDFview on my macbook. I opened a .h5 file and I wanted to copy a column with data and subsequently paste it in Excel. However, HDFview does not allows me to copy data. Did anyone experience this problem before? If so, how can you copy data from an .h5 file in Excel?

Looking forward hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Maarten

Hi Maarten,

In the TableView window [1], you'll see "Copy" menu under "Table"
menubar. Please try to use the "Copy" menu item after selecting a few
data sets.

For some reason, Mac's Meta-C short cut key didn't work with HDFView
but clicking the menu item explicitly worked for me. I think this
should be fixed for user's convenience in the future.

BTW, Windows style Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V works, too.

On the Windows side, sometimes the first Ctrl-C doesn't work for me. So I've gotten into the habit of doing it twice, which does work.

Hi Scott,

I tried it on Windows but I could not reproduce the problem.
However, it sometimes happens on pasting data to HDFView.
I had to click twice if I do Ctrl-V too fast on the first paste action.

Does the Ctrl-C problem happen all the time or just the first
time when you do the Ctrl-C? Could you also try to hold Ctrl-C
for (at least) half second to see if it works? My guess is that JVM
may need a little time to get the system clipboard.

Thanks
