[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #60868] History for ASCII2NC tool help: open_met_ascii() error

  Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hello!
I am trying to run the ASCII2NC tool in MET. Here is the command I used:

./bin/ascii2nc ./meowsers/ATNC1_testformat.csv
./meowsers/ATNC1_testformat.nc -v 2


This is what came up when I ran it:

DEBUG 1: Creating NetCDF Observation file: ./meowsers/ATNC1_testformat.nc
DEBUG 1: Reading ASCII Observation file: ./meowsers/ATNC1_testformat.csv
ERROR  :
ERROR  : open_met_ascii() -> line number 0 doesn't contain the expected
number of columns (10):
N_items        = 11
N_chars        = 512
N_ints         = 100
LineNumber     = 1

Item[ 0]       = "ADPSFC"
Item[ 1]       = "ATNC1"
Item[ 2]       = "20090824_233200"
Item[ 3]       = "34.4464"
Item[ 4]       = "241.8033"

Item[ 5]       = "792.48"
Item[ 6]       = "11"
Item[ 7]       = "-9999"
Item[ 8]       = "-9999"
Item[ 9]       = "305.95"

"tem[10]       = "


Using the met_help archive information, I have already replaced the
comma-delimiters in the .csv file to space-delimiters. Not really sure what
is the problem from here. Would you like me to send you any files to see
what's going on?

I look forward to your response. Thank you in advance.

Rie,

Yes, please send me an ASCII file that produces this error message.
Also,
please let me know what version of MET you're running.

If the file is small, you can just attach it to an email.  If it's
large,
you can post it to our anonymous ftp site following these
instructions:
