How do I export output variables who's names are located in the .rdd files in the current projects "run/4-EnergyPlus-0" folder?

I would prefer to have them in excel format. I have no knowledge of R software, SQLite software. It seems like the variables listed in the .rdd file are not available in the openstudio "Possible output variables" tab and I'm not sure of a way to directly call these variables without some prior knowledge of SQLite or R.

I would like to access many of the variables. For example, one variable I would like to export is "Boiler Inlet Temperautre". In the .rdd file, it looks like "Output:Variable,*,Boiler Inlet Temperature,hourly; !- HVAC Average [C]"

Thanks, Ryan

EDIT - At this URL (http://nrel.github.io/OpenStudio-user-documentation/next_steps/running_your_simulation/#requesting-output-variables) in the second image, it mentions adding an output variable using a BCL coded object. I have done this and added the variables which I would like to look at in a .csv format. These variables are then located in a .eso(?) file named eplusout.eso. Is there a developed method to take these variables which are located in this file and export them to a excel file?
