[ncl-talk] Passing numbers to NCL scripts (08 --> 8)

[Barry Lynn]

Actually, the problem is that in the delimiter "month1", even if I specify
it as "08" instead of passing it, it is written out as "8" in the following
line.

myFiles = systemfunc("ls -l
weather_it_is_telav_20"+year1+month1+day1+"*csv")


I found this information in the help pages

(https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/sprinti.shtml)


Even if the number is passed as "8" instead of "08," it gets converted to
"08" using the format statement below.


i = month1

  print( sprinti("%0.2i", i) )   ;


Also, if I pass "18" it remains as 18.


So, I am set.


Thank you
