[ncl-talk] A "bug" in reading comma separated files?

[Barry Lynn]

Please run this program in the following manner:

ncl ./parse_tau_obs.ncl year1=18 month1=08 day1=31


What you'll find is that the program skips over the double comma. The data
that missing between the commas is the "Visibility." But, instead of noting
visibility as missing it just moves on to the next variable, writing the
next variable (WindChill) to Visibility.

0) TemperatureC = "TemperatureC"

(1) TemperatureC = 27.4374727668845

(2) TemperatureC = 27.4374727668845

(0) VisibilityKilometers = "VisibilityKilometers"

(1) VisibilityKilometers = 27.4374727668845

(2) VisibilityKilometers = 27.4374727668845

(0) WindChillC = "WindChillC"

(1) WindChillC = 3.52784036047634

(2) WindChillC = 3.52784036047634

Thank you for your suggestions.
