Dears,

Is there a method to convert .sac to .txt files? I have three
components files and I am needing to convert the files to ascii or txt, and
create a single txt file composed for 3 column in sequence Z, N, E with the
amplitudes of each component.

I will be very grateful for your help!

best,
Guilherme

    Hi,

    There are some software in the web...googling

    But, on sac exits the command "convert", give a look in the help to use
    sac> help convert

    Another option is download sac2ascii on
    https://ds.iris.edu/message-center/thread/245/

    HTH,

    milton

    Hi,
    Yes. Use the convert function in SAC. You will have to write a short shell
    script to get the data into your preferred format.
