Hi all, I am trying to write a Python script which will read the output file of a numerical model, and then copy some of that information into a new file in a new format. The output file of the numerical model is basically
54321 # number of points 1234 # number of time steps __a whole bunch of lines with info I don't need__ [TIMESTAMP] 001 1 10 10 2 10 11 3 11 11 etc... in the format: Point# X Y for all 54321 points [TIMESTAMP] 002 1 13 13 2 14 13 etc... for all 54321 points and so for each of the 1234 time steps I would like to be able to save the number of points and time steps, then move all the time stamped data into a new file, but it needs to be written there as [ Pt# Y X ]. Is there some simple way to skip over the lines I don't need, and then inform Python about the format of the lines with the data I do need within a loop? Thanks!
