[Paraview] Getting String arrays out of Field Data

[Joshua Murphy]

Hello,

I have written a custom filter for Heliospheric data, and I am placing the model metadata into the Field Data section of ParaView.

Many of the metadata items are strings. I can view these strings just fine in Spread Sheet view, but anytime I try to get them out of Field Data via python, I get a null value return.  Doubles and Ints return just fine, but I cannot seem to figure out how to get the strings.

Can someone point me in the right direction for retrieving the strings from Field Data via Python?

Thanks,
