Houdini CHOP File Out Extension

Example #3

This example writes data to an ASCII file with a "header" included, containing the date/time the file was created and a single line comment if desired. A "time stamp" is inserted into the beginning of the data line. The format string is using a number of different format specifiers to format the data. There's also an "EOL" at the end of the line should one want to parse for that type of token rather \n, \r, or NULL. The manner in which you format the data is entirely up to you and your specific requirements. The time stamp has an offset being applied to it, -30 sec., by using the expression -(30*$FPS) in the offset field.

Here's the resulting file:

file_out_example_3.dat
file_out_example_3.0001.dat
file_out_example_3.0002.dat
