[Bidyut Bikash Goswami]

Hello All,

I am trying to run my ncl script from the following shell script:

#!/bash/bin
for i in {1..2}
do
echo $i
ncl myfile.ncl
done

Runs perfectly fine =>
[bidyut at localhost]$ sh test.sh

fatal:error in statement


What am I doing wrong?

FYI, Here are the associated file contents:
[bidyut at localhost]$ cat myfile
name1
name2

[bidyut at localhost]$ cat myfile.ncl
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"

begin

print("Hello")

end

Thanks,
Bidyut
