Access RTDE variables

[RisMmi]

I am new in ROS and currently involved in a project with an UR3e.
I need to access to the RTDE data. I have couple of questions I would be super grateful if you´d help me clarify:

It seems that the variables that I need to access are stated in the following txt:

/ur_robot_driver/resources/rtde_output_recipe.txt

However, I am not sure how would it be possible for me to access to them either from the terminal or from a script.

This subject is also related to issue #35. It seems that what they tried to do here is to publish this data into different topics. Therefore, I would like to know, if the only way of accessing to these variables is through the topics, meaning that I need to install this branch of the driver? If so, after installing this branch of the package, How do the RTDE variables can be seen/printed and what are the specific names of the topics to which these variables are being saved to?

Thanks so much in advance for your time and help!

Yes, #35 would be the way to access arbitrary RTDE data. I'm sorry, this isn't high enough in our priority list currently.

Did this comment not answer your second question, though?
