You will have to downgrade it to Kinetic, but overall scripts should be usable:

rosbag_to_csv

A GUI tool to convert topics from a single rosbag file or multiple rosbag files at once to csv files

Don't use GUI, but the scripts inside - overall, you can install a virtual machine with ROS Noetic and use it directly here with your bags.

In these answers here you have other options to use:

  • rostopic echo -b file.bag -p /topic

where flags:

-b - display messages in a bag file.

-p display messages in a matlab/octave-friendly plotting format.

  • rosbag play mybag.bag and then rostopic echo /foo > output.txt + modify it with e.g. Python pandas library
