How to get a 3d scan as txt from Rawlog file?

Question

I'm new to c++ programming and I am currently trying to work with kinect and Hokuyo sensors with mrpt. The rawlog-grabber app allows me to get scan from both sensors and I can get the 2D-scan (Hokuyo) as txt file with rawlog-edit. But I can't seem to be able to get the 3D-scan (kinect) as a txt file, I don't know if it is even possible: rawlog-edit doesn't show any kind of function to do so.

Thanks in advance for your consideration

You can append the --txt-externals flag to rawlog-edit. It was implemented in 2016, so the latest releases (e.g. 1.5.5, 1.5.6, etc.) should come with that feature:

rawlog-edit -i input.rawlog --externalize --txt-externals
