I have quite big dataset. All information stored in the hdf5 format file. I found h5py library for python. All works properly except of the
[<HDF5 object reference>]
I have no idea how to convert it in something more readable. Can I do it at all ? Because documentation in this question slightly hard for me. Maybe there are some others solutions with different languages not only Python. I appreciate every help I will get.
In the ideal it should be link to the file.
It's the part of my code:
import numpy as np
import h5py
import time
f = h5py.File('myfile1.mat','r')
#print f.keys()
test = f['db/path']
st = test[3]
print( st )
st
output is [<HDF5 object reference>]
test
output is <HDF5 dataset "path": shape (73583, 1), type "|O8">
And I expect instead [<HDF5 object reference>]
something like that one: /home/directory/file1.jpg
. If it is possible of course.
My friend answered my question and I understood how it was easy. But I spent more than 4 hours solving my small problem. The solution is:
import numpy as np
import h5py
import time
f = h5py.File('myfile1.mat','r')
test = f['db/path']
st = test[0][0]
obj = f[st]
str1 = ''.join(chr(i) for i in obj[:])
print( str1 )
I'm sorry if don't specified my problem accurately. But this the solution I tried to find.
