[ncl-talk] Remove white-spaces from write_table output [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Karin Meier-Fleischer]

Hi Rabah,

it’s because you are writting a table and the delimiter is per default a blank.

Do you really want to write the values without a blank or colon as delimiter? 
Then try to write the values as strings like

begin

outfile = "test_write_table.txt"
sounding_check = [/"2"+"99999"+"99999"+"99999"+"99999"+"99999"+"99999"/]

write_table(outfile,"a",sounding_check,"%s")

end

The output is 

2999999999999999999999999999999


Bye,
Karin
