Grep rosbag for the time a particular message was published?
If I have a huge rosbag of which I only wish to examine the time at which a particular message was published to a particular topic, how would I do that?
Currently, I have to play through the entire rosbag and wait for that message to appear and note down the timestamp.
Is there a smarter way to get the timestamp directly from the bag?
Whenever you're not actually interested in replaying
.bag
files to feed "old" information to a running ROS application, use the rosbag Python/C++ API.
