This application prints out storm or track data in column ASCII format, suitable for use by other applications such as spread-sheets. Storm properties are selected using the TRACK_ENTRY option, while aggregate track properties are selected using the COMPLETE_TRACK option. This application uses the storm track header files (.th5) as input and produces a .txt file as an output.

It helps in the extraction of data from a storm header file in a format that can then be read by python.

Run the following from the command line:
