[ncl-talk] Question about using curl instead of wget in system call

[Barry Lynn]

Hi:

I can use wget in a system's call to download data. Thank you for taking a
look.

system ("wget http://ftp.ncep.noaa.gov/data/nccf/com/gfs/prod/gfs.2018082200
/gfs.t00z.pgrb2.0p25.f240")


However, if I want to use curl, I am not sure where and how to place the
quotation marks.


This works outside of ncl.


curl -s "
http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/filter_gfs_0p25.pl?file=gfs.t00z.pgrb2.0p25.f240&all_lev=on&all_var=on&subregion=&leftlon=15&rightlon=50&toplat=50&bottomlat=15&dir=%2Fgfs.2018082200
"  -o junk


This does not:


system ( "curl -s
http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/filter_gfs_0p25.pl?file=gfs.t00z.pgrb2.0p25.f240&all_lev=on&all_var=on&subregion=&leftlon=15&rightlon=50&toplat=50&bottomlat=15&dir=%2Fgfs.201808
2200 -o junk")
