[ncl-talk] CSV Data Spacing

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi Michelle,

I'm not sure what the question is.  The output is consistent with the
documented behavior of write_table -- which states that if no explicit with
is given in the format codes, then the "default" behavior results (hence,
the variable-length, per-variable, per-value widths).  If you want nice
tabular output, use explicit widths.  On the other hand, "CSV" means
comma-separated:  if you want commas in the output, change you format to
look something like "%g,%g,%g,%g,%g,%g,%g"

Hope that helps...
Rick
