Hi Chuan,
Something is strange with the last column of the  partstatistic.dat file
#Time/ns     tot_impac      tot_sey    TotalCharge      PartNum

You write the PartNum is the number of particles at the end of the 
simulation. In my case I start with a few 1e4 and endup with 4e6 particles.
When using H5root, it has a filed called Entries wich is an integer.
This field changes at every step looked at, but it never shows the same 
number as the PartNum, the last step it shows 79000 particles, not 4e6.
So at the end what is the difference.
How many particles do I really have  at the end of my simulation ?

I am trying to load in matlab the h5 file which is not standard, hence I 
have no clue about what is in the .h5 file
and writing:  h5disp('ctf3-injector-darkcurrent-1.h5')
displays a very very long list of stuff which is in !
is there any way to display only the variables and their size ? and how 
many step numbers are in the file.

Please note that I did not re-run the simulation since you have normally 
fixed the PartStatistic.dat header
