Default OpenFoam output to CSV; correlate coordinates to internal values

CoolKau is on a distinguished road
In short what I want, is a CSV like file, similar to what paraFoam creates, which gives me a list of x,y,z coordinates with the values of the simulation. (x,y,z,t,ux,uy,uz,p in each row). Is there a way to create this file without using paraFoam?

This question was asked before, but I did not find a good answer, because I want to bypass paraFoam completely. The reason is, that currently I have to copy the simulation from the cluster to a local linux machine, run paraFoam's "Save Data" and then copy the CSV to my desktop computer.

Is there a script that can do that?
If not, I had a look at the OpenFoam output files. They give me a list
of type

Code:
internalField   nonuniform List<scalar> 
  2075120
  (
  275.604
  275.267
  274.734
Is there any easy way to find the corresponding coordinates? Is there a documentation? As soon as i can find the points to the values I can write a script on my own. I did not find anything helpful unfortunately.
