Hi All,
Just a strategy question.
I have many hdf5 files containing data for different measurements of the same
quantities.
My directory tree looks like
top description [ group ]
sub description [ group ]
avg [ group ]
re [ numpy array shape = (96,1,2) ]
im [ numpy array shape = (96,1,2) ] - only exists for know subset of data
files
I have ~400 of these files. What I want to do is create a single file, which
collects all of these files with exactly the same directory structure, except
at the very bottom
re [ numpy array shape = (400,96,1,2) ]
The simplest thing I came up with to do this is loop over the two levels of
descriptive group structures, and build the numpy array for the final set this
way.
basic loop structure:
final_file = tables.openFile('all_data.h5','a')
for d1 in top_description:
final_file.createGroup(final_file.root,d1)
for d2 in sub_description:
final_file.createGroup(final_file.root+'/'+d1,d2)
data_re = np.zeros([400,96,1,2])
for i,file in enumerate(hdf5_files):
tmp = tables.openFile(file)
data_re[i] = np.array(tmp.getNode('/d1/d2/avg/re')
tmp.close()
final_file.createArray(final_file.root+'/'+d1+'/'+d2,'re',data_re)
But this involves opening and closing the individual 400 hdf5 files many times.
There must be a smarter algorithmic way to do this - or perhaps built in
pytables tools.
Any advice is appreciated.
Andre
