[ncl-talk] Handing of file paths own write_table()

[Will Hobbs]

Hi all

Looking for some input on a slightly annoying feature of the write_table() function (well, it was annoying when I couldn’t figure it out)

The following bit of code runs just fine as written. However, change diro = “~/” and I get a Segmentation fault. I assume (but don’t know) this is because my HLUres has the tilde set for use with function codes in strings, but I’ve not had the same issue with filepaths in any other NCL I/O function (e.g. asciiwrite(), addfile() ). Indeed,  the asciiwrite() statement in the snippet below works fine with the tilde, it only fails with the write_table() statement.

Will

begin

diro = “/Users/whobbs/” <i.e. your home directory>
  filo = "foo.csv"


  model = "random_model"
  expt  = "random_expt_name"
  Dbnd  = (/1025.23,1026.39,1026.99,1027.82/)


if (.not.fileexists(diro+filo)) then
   asciiwrite(diro+filo, "model,expt,SAMW_upper,SAMW_IW, IW_CDW,CDW_BW")
end if

oList = [/model, expt, str_join(sprintf("%6.2f",Dbnd),",") /]
write_table(diro+filo, "a", oList, "%s,%s,%s")


end
