I wish to plot a XY line from a file (foo.tec) written in tecplot style. The content of the file is as following:

```
TITLE = "Multi-Zone 2D Plot"
VARIABLES = "X", "Press"
ZONE T="ZONE-1" 
1.0 100.0 
1.2 95.0 
1.8 90.0 
2.0 100.0 
2.2 85.0 
2.8 80.0 
3.0 89.0 
3.2 81.0 
3.8 92.0 
ZONE T="ZONE-2"
3.0 89.0 
3.2 80.0 
3.8 78.0 
4.0 83.0 
4.2 80.0 
4.8 77.0 

```

I was able to read this data successfully in tecplot, but in PARAVIEW (with tecplot reader) not. Then I changed the line mentioning zone to following-  
ZONE T=“ZONE-1”, I=9, J=2  
ZONE T=“ZONE-2”, I=6, J=2

After these changes, PARAVIEW was able to read the first zone (ZONE-1) but not the second one (ZONE-2). How can I make PARAVIEW to read both zones?
