Hello everyone...
Right now, FlexPDE will let you choose to save xy data with or without (noheader) header. My understanding is that the default header is however predefined and cannot be changed.
I would like to be able to specify the header (after export file spec) to seprate MERGED data in xy data files. without the proper header, one cannot plot the data directly.

My question is:
Is it possible to specify headers? If so, please explain... Thank you very much.

Add to this question:
Specifically, can we add a line header for xy data suitable for Tecplot (note that FlexPDE des this very well with FE data exported to Tecplot). Here I am concerned with xyxy data.
Thanks.

There is currently no mechanism for inserting header text into export files.

In formatted TABLE export with the MERGE control, the headers separate the data sets. The header content is not controllable, but it is curly-bracket delimited, which I hoped would make it easy to skip over. If you use the NOHEADER and MERGE controls, the data does indeed run together. But the default is NOMERGE, so you created the problem by merging.

In TECPLOT output there is in the ZONE line a text label T="MATERIAL n TIME=time", which should allow the separation of time sets.
