foamMonitor: Adding possibility to specify the file using process substitution

Hello,

When running a simulation and it stops for some reason several times, one ends up with multiple time-named directories in postProcessing directory, e.g:

postProcessing/forceCoeffs1/0
postProcessing/forceCoeffs1/0.5
postProcessing/forceCoeffs1/2.4
...etc

IMO, one solution is to use bash process substitution to plot multiple files at once (currently foamMonitor doesn't allow that, and it doesn't support process substitution), e.g:

cd postProcessing/foceCoeffs1/
foamMonitor <(cat 0/forceCoeffs.dat <(tail +10 0.5/forceCoeffs.dat ) <(tail +10 2.4/forceCoeffs.dat) )
  • Is it possible to implement that in foamMonitor script, if I may ask?

Thank you
