[ncl-talk] how to tell readAsciiTable to ignore ^M ?

[xiaoming Hu]

Hello
  I have trouble to readAsciiTable   the following data:
VERSION 03.30^M^M
54342 0123.5167 041.7333 0052.5^M^M
GFE(L)-1 12.2 GTS1 -00262833792 028 0750 0400 2650 1500 352^M^M

       1.000     -999.000     -999.000     -999.000        3.370       67.810        0.108        0.000        0.000        0.000        0.000       64.000
       2.000     -999.000     -999.000     -999.000        3.970       67.620        0.108        0.000        0.000        0.000        0.000       69.000

see:
ncl 8> data_second = readAsciiTable("Z_UPAR_I_54342_20130712111513_O_TEMP-L.txt.SECOND", 12, "float", 7)
warning:asciiread: End of file reached and only (76173) elements were read from the file, filling remaining elements with the default missing value for the requested type
ncl 9> print(data_second(:2,0))


Variable: data_second (subsection)
Type: float
Total Size: 12 bytes
            3 values
Number of Dimensions: 1
Dimensions and sizes: [3]
Coordinates:
Number Of Attributes: 1
  _FillValue : 9.96921e+36
(0) 2.013071e+13
(1) 315
(2) 70


It appears NCL  treated   ^M^M   as an additional line.
How can I tell NCL to treat ^M as characters?
Thanks
Xiaoming
