I'm using OpenStudio to simulate with EnergyPlus. I want to get a csv file out of it in order to do some post-processing.
As stated in the thread Getting csv from sql, one way to get the csv is to re-run the IDF file generated by OpenStudio through the EP-Launch program. But that would require running the simulation a second time, which I want to avoid.
OpenStudio does save the .eso file, and I can process it just fine using ReadVarsESO that comes with EnergyPlus. The only problem is that I'm getting this message
ReadVarsESO program starting.
too many variables requested, will go with first 255
Now, in EP-launch, if you go to Options, then "Miscellaneous", you can tick an option "Allow more than 250 columns", and you'll end up with a csv that has all the reporting variables, even if more than 250 or 255.
So I'm guessing there's a way to call ReadVarsEso with some kind of parameter that tells it to ignore the columns limit.
How can you run the ReadVarsESO without the 255 columns limit?
