Thank you Lyle for your answer. I have switched to using ddy and found all the csv files in the energyplus installation directory.

2016-12-19 06:43:49 -0500 asked a question How to parse .stat file to csv or json?

I am doing some data analytics on weather data. At first I wanted to process epw files but then I realized that it is already done and available as .stat files. The problem though is to extract data from these files. I used regex for a few variables, but it is just too much time consuming. Does anyone have a better solution to parse these files preferably to csv or json? If the source code for the weather.exe is available somewhere, I could modify it to save the output as csv or json format.

I downloaded them using the answer I gave here: https://unmethours.com/question/17646.... But your answer would have made my job much easier. Thanks anyways :)

2016-12-15 17:45:47 -0500 asked a question Is there a command line tool or (python) script to create ddy file from weather file?

I was looking through some of the weather files and realized that some locations' ddy file is empty. I wonder if it is possible to generate ddy from epw automatically, i.e. using a command line tool or a piece of script preferably in Python?

I am going to do my Master's thesis about social graphs (network) of weather data for HVAC design. The results will be published an open source web-based tool. But first, I need weather file data. There are just too many of them for manual download. I was wondering if there is any repository to download them all at once; or if there is a pattern in the file path so that I can download it by running a script (I couldn't find any pattern).
