Dear Mr. Jason Glazer,

Thank you for your help! I tried to select the Text Editor a couple of times again, but I had some troubles in the process. So, what I did was find/open Notepad and open the *.IDF file directly. This file finally opened, and I edited what I needed. I saved these changes, closed the file, reopened it in EnergyPlus and clicked the simulation botton. The program then prompted me to update the file from EnergyPlus 25.1.0 to 25.2.0 using the FILE option within EnergyPlus. I did this, and it created the following two files: a *.IDF and a *_V2510.IDF. The first one is for version 25.2.0. I ran the simulation with this file and got what I was looking for. Any new comments or suggestions will be highly appreciated!
