• Python (if you want to run the script outside of Docker)

Installing

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/yankejustin/Obd2MdfToCsv.git
   cd Obd2MdfToCsv

2. Build the Docker Container

   docker build -t obd2mdftocsv .

Usage

To convert an MDF to CSV with column name changing and data modification:

```bash
docker run -v ${PWD}/data:/app/data obd2mdftocsv python app.py data/input.mdf data/output.csv
```

For example, if you place input.mdf inside the data directory, you can run the container like this:

```bash
docker run -v /path/to/Obd2MdfToCsv/data:/app/data obd2mdftocsv python app.py /app/data/input.mdf
```

Note: Replace /path/to/Obd2MdfToCsv with the actual path to where you cloned the repository.
