fbinseqSwap2

Byte swaps Fortran sequential files (more memory friendly).

Prototype

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"

	procedure fbinseqSwap2 (
		in_file  [1] : string,   
		out_file [1] : string,   
		type     [1] : string,   
		dims     [*] : integer   
	)

	return_val  :  file

Arguments

Name of input file.

Name of output file.

The type of the data on in_file (e.g. "float")

A one-dimensional array or equal to the dimensionality of the input data.

Description

Byte swaps Fortran sequential files. A more memory friendly version than fbinseqSwap1. It requires that all records in the file be the same type and dimension. The user must provide the dimensionality of each record, but not necessarily the number of records. If the wrong dimensions are input, the data will be distorted.

Examples

Example 1

In the following, N is record length [eg N=1000 , (/nlat,mlon/) ]

   load $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl

   fbinseqSwap2("foo.input", "foo.output", "float",  N)
