[ncl-talk] reading station data

[Dave Allured - NOAA Affiliate]

Debasish, that is a CSV file with header lines.  Use *asciiread* to read
the entire file as strings.  Then use string parsing functions such as
*str_split_csv* and/or *str_get_field* to get individual columns.  Examples
*csv_3.ncl* and *csv4_ncl* are close to what you want to do.
