[ncl-talk] Problem with "cd_calendar"

[Mary Haley]

You need to use cd_inv_calendar:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/cd_inv_calendar.shtml

Some of the examples on the above page should help you.

To get the required year, month, day, hour, minutes, and seconds arrays,
you will need to parse the "time" array in the same fashion that you parsed
the CSV file.

For example:

  month = str_get_field(time,1,"/")
  day   = str_get_field(time,2,"/")
  year  = str_get_field(time,3,"/ ")  ; note the use of both '/' and ' ' as
delimiters
