[ncl-talk] How to print zero before the decimal point with "write_matrix" function

[Wan Jianghua]

Hi all,

I try to print a nicely formatted text file with "write_matrix" function,
but the result is not satisfactory.

When the absolute value of the number is less than 1, the zero before the
decimal point is omitted. Is there any possible way to print it out? Thanks!

 

My test script:

a=new((/2,2/),float,-999.)

a=0.1

a(0,0)=-0.1

write_matrix(a,"2f5.2",True)

 

the result:

-.10   .10

.10   .10



 

Sincerely,

Jianghua
