    <p>Hi</p>
    <p>I don't have such a script. But, I have read similar data in odd
      formats. What was helpful in the absence of NCL code (which IS
      tedious for weird text) is to preprocess the data in a scripting
      language, sed/awk, Perl etc. Perl I am most familar with and it is
      very flexible when reading values, spaces, etc. It was made for
      text processing! :) But other langauges also can do this. <br>
    </p>
    <p>You then write it out in a way that NCL can read more easily.</p>
