Dear NCL support,<br>
<br>
i have txt files (attached) containing 35 different variables which im<br>
trying to save in netcdf format. current problem is that i need to<br>
specify every variable on its own and it is not elegant (attached) and<br>
later on it will be problem since columns will be rearranged in random<br>
order from time to time.<br>
Can it be done somehow like this:<br>
.data=asciiread(...<br>
....<br>
variable_5 = (str_get_field(data(1::),5,","<wbr>))<br>
print(variable_5(0)); which is variable name of column 5<br>
print(variable_5(0))=variable_<wbr>5(3:end)<br>
<br>
or in written form:<br>
i load data, ignore first row,<br>
read data by columns<br>
use first row as new variable name<br>
use second row tu set units<br>
skip 3. row and use all the rest as data.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Damjan<br><br></div></div>
