AWK works extremely well. You can get a shareware copy GAWK from Gnu ware.

If DOE outputs a text file then you can't beat good ol' vim. True, it's a pain to learn with its arcane input and command modes. But, you can get a nice coffee mug from www.geekcheat.com with all the more useful commands.
 
A windows port of vim is available as charityware from www.gvim.org

Is anyone aware of a software tool/product or another means by which to easily extract/parse information found in the DOE-2 output/sim file?  The e-QUEST-produced reports are helpful for summing up the results, but I would like to have quicker access to other information for calibrating/verifying/questioning my models.  For instance, it'd be great to extract # of hours underheated or cooled, or perhaps I'd like to extract the DOE-2 -sized cfm or capacity values.  With a lot of zones/systems this becomes a tedious task to deal with manually.

Any suggestions for a good method of doing this?  I know some have written VBA to this end, but is that limited in flexibility or easily adaptable to all models (i.e. changing # of rooms affects line # in output file)?  Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Paul Erickson
