adding IDF variable reporting code to OS via measure?

Hello,

I have a swath of e+ output:variables I'd like to add to the reporting of an OS run. Does anyone has a favorite way of doing that?

Currently I'm post-processing by simulating the OS model, then adding my variables (IDF code) to the generated out.idf, then re-running the out.idf. I'm sure there's a slicker method. I have used the measure: addOutputVariable in the past, but it seems cumbersome to repeat that more than a few times.

Is there perhaps another measure out there that people use just to load in IDF code to the OSM, pre-run? This might be an excuse to write my first measure, but I'd be surprised if I'm the first to think this is a good idea.

Or, if there's an even better (and obvious) workflow, I'd be interested in that, too.

Thanks!
