Hi - I have some 2D simulations and have to export to post-processing in Python - usually the easiest way to do this is to import to Python from pain text files. I'm trying to make sense out of the online OF docs - a search yielded a reference to something named "writeFile" ...? Is this a command line object? How is this used -> https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...writeFile.html
https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...onvert_8C.html

For instance documentation https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...ut-file-format is entitled "Basic input/output file format" but there's nothing at all on that page about output file formats...

Since I've never used C/C++, I guess I'm looking for a built-in OF utility/command/option for doing this sort of export/formatting. (I know usually CFD files are so huge nobody would probably think to use ASCII format... but my data files are only ~6kB (scalar fields) in size - easy to read into a data analysis language for Arrhenius analysis) - although I wouldn't mind saving all output files in ASCII or some other easily-read, common format, if there's an option for that...

Thank You Very Much!
Michelle
