TFile** gammaSpectrum.root
TFile* gammaSpectrum.root
KEY: TH1D h3;1 energy of neutral secondaries at creation
KEY: TH1D h5;1 energy of neutral at creation (log scale)
KEY: TH1D h20;1 (transmit, neutral) : kinetic energy at exit
KEY: TH1D h22;1 (transmit, neutral) : space angle: dN/dOmega
KEY: TH1D h23;1 (transmit, neutral) : projected angle at exit
KEY: TH1D h24;1 (transmit, neutral) : y projected position at exit
KEY: TH1D h25;1 (transmit, neutral) : z projected position at exit

Have you tried the following?

h3->Print("textfile.txt")

TH1::Print

Thank you for the reply. I have tried this, it prints the total entries, and the .txt file is empty.
Please give me some suggestions.

h3->Print(“textfile.txt”)
TH1.Print Name = h3, Entries= 3241085, Total sum= 3.22728e+06

Did you read the documentation? I clearly didn’t.

h3->Print("all");

TH1::Print
