I'm using GenOpt coupling with EnergyPlus to minimize the LCC but this variable that I need to minimize doesn't appear in the .eso file of E+

I'm using GenOpt coupling with EnergyPlus to minimize the LCC. In the .eso file resulting from the simulation in E+ doesn't appear any variable related to the calculation of the LCC. In the initialization file (.ini) of GenOpt I need to reference the delimiter of the .eso file corresponding to the variable that I want to minimize (LCC). BUT as in the .eso file of E+ the variable that I need to minimize doesn't exist, what can I do??

Get it from the Output:Table:SummaryReports in the HTML or the SQL file (if requested). You'll have to write for eg a python script to do that, but it should be quite straightforward.
