[ncl-talk] Import Error with Observational Data

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi Zach,

Looks like a couple of things going on:

i) There's this line in the docs for str_fields_count():

" If one or more delimiters appear side-by-side in a string, then they are
treated as if they were just one delimiter."

So based of the 2nd line in the file (strs(1)), it return nfields as 10,
rather than what I might have expected as 14.

ii) These two lines:
   strend= ind(strs.eq.",,,,,,")
   iLast = strend(0)

apparently there are no lines in the file with 6 consecutive commas, and
"strend" comes back with one element, the _FillValue, which in this case is
a really large negative number, and so "iLast" is then an invalid index.

Hope that helps...
Rick
