Foamformatconvert

Hi,
I am using OpenFoam 2.1. I saved the solution files in binary format. I want to change the format to ascii to see pressure values. How can I use Foamformatconvert option in OpenFoam? What changes I have to implement in controlDict files to use this option?
Thanks!

I'm using a more recent version so not sure if it'll be exactly the same, but in mine, you set

Code:

writeFormat ascii;

in system/controlDict, then run
foamFormatConvert
(probably with the -noConstant flag, to not also convert your mesh, but again I'm using a newer version so the flags might be different)
foamFormatConvert rewrites everything in the format specified in controlDict
