Help on opening hdf5 files

[#1]

Hi,

I'm trying to use JMP to open a hdf5 file using a script.  I can successfully open it using the Open() command:

blobpath = "/Documents/myblob";
dtblob_lis = Open(blobpath);

but I get a pop-up asking which data set I'd like to open: 

My question: is there an option in the Open() command I could use to specify which data set within the blob I wish to open, and avoid the pop-up?  Thanks.

... and is there a way to record the action?

[#3]

as an alternative: use h5py.
very smooth sinde JMP18 : )

[#4]

Unfortunately my org has not adopted JMP18 yet.

[#5]

LearnBot: the same.
refreshingly honest : )

[#6]

Ha.

 vs. 

[#8]

That was the first thing I tried.  No, there is no apparent recording of actions in the log or in the table(s) that are created.

This is a guess but based on the discussion on Automate opening an hdf5 file Python Integration might be the answer. @briancorcoran 

You don't have to use JMP's Python integration to manage file opening/conversion with Python, create a python script which you can run from command line (using Run Program())which takes inputs you need (file path at least), saves it as .csv and then open that .csv in JMP. That is how I used Python before JMP18 in JMP (and still do from time to time). You can of course try using JMP's Python integration in versions earlier than 18, but I wouldn't bother and would just run it from command line.

You can open individual items within the HDF5 dataset by using a JSL list to specify the members to open.  For example, the following worked for me (specifying the file extension as well):

open("d:\testdata\HDF5\hdf5data.h5", {"/g2/float"});

In your case, it might look like:

open("/Documents/myblob.h5", {"/CSIG_RAW_IMG_OFF/F0/FrameNumbers", "/CSIG_RAW_IMG_OFF/F0/Frames"});

I hope that helps.
