[ncl-talk] help using res and res2

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi Laura,

I took a peek at those files, and it appears that xtime is a character
array, such that if you print it, you get:

Variable: xtime (file variable)
Type: character
Total Size: 64 bytes
            64 values
Number of Dimensions: 2
Dimensions and sizes:    [Time | 1] x [StrLen | 64]
Coordinates:
Number Of Attributes: 0
(0,0)    2
(0,1)    0
(0,2)    1
(0,3)    5
(0,4)    -
(0,5)    0
(0,6)    5
(0,7)    -
(0,8)    0
(0,9)    6
(0,10)    _
(0,11)    0
(0,12)    0
(0,13)    :
(0,14)    1
(0,15)    5
(0,16)    :
(0,17)    0
(0,18)    0
(0,19)
(0,20)
(0,21)
(0,22)
...


You might try setting res2 at tiMainString = tostring(xtime)

HTH...
