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

To whom it may concern,

I seem to be having an error running point_stat.  I am trying to compare
hourly surface observations from a text file(ascii2NC) with hourly
accumulated precipitation data grib2 from UEMS_WRF. I found a similar
problem on one of your email archives, but I still receive the error even
after applying the suggestions:

   field = [

        cat_thresh = [ >0.0, >=5.0  ];
      }


   ];

}

Thank you very much!!

Hi Emily.

I see that you are having trouble running point_stat due to a syntax
error.  I believe the problem lies in your config file.  The following
line
has two quotation marks at the end before the semi colon:

name       = "APCP_P8_L1_GLC0_acc1h"";

Please try removing one of the quotation marks and rerun point_stat.
Please let us know if that works.

Thanks,
Julie
