[Gmsh] Question about gmsh

[Jeremy Theler]

If the data is given node-based, this can be done more or less easily
with awk. If the data is cell-centered (as it seems to be the case from
your description) probably a more complex solution will be needed.

Can you give us an example .msh file you want to convert to plain ASCII
columns?
