<p>Hi Xiaoming, </p>
<p>It seems that you are trying to read a file DOS line endings. You must convert it to Unix type, so I suggest using a software like dos2unix:<br /><a href="http://dos2unix.sourceforge.net/">http://dos2unix.sourceforge.net/</a></p>
<p>There are plenty of other ways of converting the file. Then NCL will read the file without problems.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;">It appears NCL treated ^M^M as an additional line. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;">How can I tell NCL to treat ^M as characters? </div>
