python and HDF

[Sheldon]

Hi,

I am using a HLHDF C wrapper to extract data from HDF (version 5)
files.
I can view the contents with IDL, for example, and read the attributes
in the HDF file. There is one attribute that I extracted and only of
part of the string was returned. In the HDF file, the attribute data is
a name which is called "baseline" but when python reads it, it returns
"baselin" instead.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Sincerely,
Sheldon

Not from this description. How do you read the data with Python? Which C
library/wrapper do you use?

Hi

I an using HLHDF developed locally. I found someone who said that if
the string was written to the HDF file with being NULL+1 terminated
then this would happen.

Sounds good to me. Thanks for your help.
