SDIO Output
Overview
To make REPTILE more convenient to use with certain software packages, the output can be converted from CSV to SDIO format. This can be done manually by using REPTILE's --csv2sdio mode, or automatically by using the "-SDIO" command line option with one of REPTILE's other modes.
REPTILE uses the CSV column headers to name the SDIO variables.

Manually Convert from CSV to SDIO
In order to manually convert one of REPTILE's output CSV files (or really any properly formatted CSV file) to SDIO format, you must supply the CSV filename and the SDIO output file name as follows:
reptile --csv2sdio -i file.csv -o file.dta
Sometimes it is handy to add a suffix to the SDIO variable name. This can be done with the "-SUFFIX" option:
reptile --csv2sdio -SUFFIX sub -i file.csv -o file.dta
which would take a variable in the CSV file named "PX" and rename it "PXsub".
Automatically Generate SDIO Output
To generate SDIO output from another REPTILE mode, simply add the "-SDIO" command line option (and "-SUFFIX" if desired). For example:
reptile --node_forces -SDIO -SUFFIX sub -i file.def -o file.csv file1.xdb
