[ncl-talk] read namelist file in NCL

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi,

I am unaware of an NCL function that directly reads the namelist.  However,
you might look at this example:

http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutorial/Graphics/NCL/Examples/EXPERIMENTAL/wrf_show_wps_som_namelist.htm

It uses system calls to "grep" through a namelist file to pull out fields
that are of interest.

Hope that helps...
Rick
