    Hi Jon,<br>
    <br>
    Something that is easy to use in scripts is:<br>
    <br>
    h5dump -d "real scalars" c_trunk_hdf5_chk_0007 | grep -A 1 '"time '<br>
    <br>
    That gives the two lines output by h5dump, for example:<br>
            
    "time                                                                           
    ",<br>
             3.50004<br>
    <br>
    adding a " | tail -1" will just give the time itself.<br>

          This is probably obvious to longterm users of FLASH.  How do I

           It's recorded in the log file, sort of, but not in an easily
