I would like to read hdf5 or h5 files in R . I found two packages hdf5 and h5r , but in both packages they have information how to get attribute from data. In my case I would like see what kind of parameters are saved in every file. I have tried h5 <- hdf5load("GOSATTFTS20090601_02C02SV0002R101202000F0.h5", load = TRUE, verbosity = 0, tidy = FALSE) ls() # list available data ls() [1] "Data" "Gcan" "Global" "aet" "ancillary" [6] "driver" "evalStats" "gpp" "h5" "h5t" [11] "i" "nam" "nee" "obs" "r.1" [16] "r.2" "r.3" "r.4" "r.5" "r.6" [21] "scanAttribute" "swc1" "swc2" "t" "ter" [26] "x" "y" "z" but these are major classes and I would like see the names of attributes which are stored in this major groups? how to deal with these major parameters ? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/reading-HDF5-or-H5-files-tp4459803p4459803.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
