Hi,

Can someone tell me how I would rename a data block using CBFlib?

The situation is that I am reading in a template CBF file that  
contains some extra categories  (eg, to describe a beamline, or  
goniometer)
This file must have a data block and this becomes the working data  
block.
I am then adding  our own categories (detector and data collection  
parameters) to this data block and/or replacing nominal values with  
dynamically generated values.  I then want to write out the CBF file.

I want the data block written out to have a name specified by the  
program, not the name in the template file.
I seem to be able to replace anything else (categories, and values),  
but not the data block name.

Actually, I would like it to be more flexible.  The purpose for which   
I use the template file is to allow the user to either 1) add  
additional categories and columns to our nominal CBF header data or 2)  
to override our internally generated values.   I want the data block  
name to behave the same way, but it cannot because the template file  
must have a data block name and this always overrides my internal name.

Thanks for any ideas.

Michael

PS - Herb - I sent a request through the sourceforge mail system to be  
added as a developer so that I can post some files.  Maybe you didn't  
ge the email?
