[Paraview] Get the name of a dataset

[Dennis Conklin]

Peter,

You could add a fake (point or cell) variable from the Calculator and then test for that in the Programmable Filter
Variable ->    Name:DataSetName  (=0?)

Within the filter you could search the keys for "Name:" and split out the DataSetName.

Not very clean, but doable.

If you run a python script you could access the filename, run a Calculator filter to add the variable and then call the Programmable filter to extract the name and use it.   That method should be able to be automated.

YMMV

Dennis
