**ShowPlay Reference Manual, Chapter 5 (OutputFiles): printrec**
===== printrec -- Print a pdigm file header or record number =====

Because dmread only displays the contents of the file
in the command window, it is also useful to know how to
dump this information into a text file in the current
directory for future use. For example, typing:

dmread pdigm6_1001_2_1 > header_1001_2_1.txt

will print the header into a text file with the name
'header_1001_2_1.txt'.  Similarly, typing:

dmread pdigm6_1001_2_1 - 23 > paramfile_1001_2_1.txt

will print record# 23 (the '.ppf' file) into a text
file with the specified name.
