<div dir="auto">Yes... I tested this for a single string without curly brackets (eg. *.nc) and that works fine ...</div>
<div dir="auto">Does this indicate there is somehow a system dependency, even though the curly brackets do work directly in the terminal? Quite puzzling, no?</div>

<div>Hi Matthias,<br>
<br>
</div>
That is very odd -- it works for me, both at bash command line and using systemfunc() from within NCL. Can you get systemfunc to return files from a directory without using "{}" notation, .i.e, "ls *" for example? Or simply "ls foo" where the file foo is known
to exist in the current directory?<br>

<div>Dear all,<br>
<br>
I am currently testing the CVDP (<a href="http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/working_groups/CVC/cvdp/">http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/<wbr>working_groups/CVC/cvdp/</a>) which is written in ncl.<br>
Currently the software does not run because it can't find the proper datasets. <br>
<br>
Finding the data is driven by the <b>systemfunc</b> command using curly brackets (multiple options).<br>
For example, within ncl, I want to list all files that have one of the following extension: .nc, .hdf, .pdf.<br>
<br>
This I do with:<br>
myFiles = systemfunc("ls /DIRECTORY/*{.nc,.hdf,.pdf}")<br>
<br>
If I fo this in ncl, I get an error: ls: cannot access '/DIRECTORY/*{.nc,.hdf,.pdf}': No such file or directory<br>
<br>
Yet, when pasting ls /DIRECTORY/*{.nc,.hdf,.pdf} directly in my system (ubuntu 16.04, 64bit) terminal, I do get a list of the finals with this extension. So the expected result.<br>
<br>
I have tested this in ncl-6.3.0 and 6.2.1, but I have the same problem in both.<br>
Did anyone else notice this before? Any idea on how to fix this?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Matthias<br>
