[ncl-talk] number variable transfer into ncl script

[Mark Chan]

Dear Alan
Dear Rick

Thanks so much for your kindly suggestion, and the following way works perfectly.

ncl timeb=$var1  timee=$var2  timed=$var3   abc.ncl

With my best regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,

I take it your $var1, $var2, etc., are shell variables?

Try      ncl timeb=\"$var1\" ....

HTH,
Rick
