[Paraview] Problem reading Ensight Gold file with large number of time steps

[Zhanping Liu]

Hom:

    You are right.

    (1) There is a 80-char limit on the length of any line in the case file
(actually also on the length of any line that stores ASCII/descriptive
information in a binary file). Thus the 200 time values can not be placed on
a single line. Otherwise only the first several would be parsed while the
rest would be ignored.

    (2) As you noticed from the code, the time values can be placed on
multiple lines to address the aforementioned over-limit issue.

    (3) Even the first several time values are not necessarily placed on the
same line as that of the "TIME VALUES" token. In other words, the time
values may be placed beginning on a line following the token line --- the
non-inline case.

    Good luck.
