[vtkusers] ensight Reader

[Benjamin Schindler]

Hi

Thanks, this did help. What I'm still confused about is how to extract
the data. The file I'm reading has 12 variables of various type. What I
want to do is extract one of these and do something with it. 
My problem is, that the filereader has only one output port, and the
output (which is a MultiBlockDataSet) has only one block. 
So how do I extract these parts?

Thanks
Benjamin Schindler
