Re: write_matrix file name

Hi Dennis,

thanks for the answer. I should have specified that "dir" is the directory
location and "cell" is just a string (in this case to identify the
grid-cell I am working on).

Variable: cell
Type: string Total
Size: 4 bytes
             1 values
Number of Dimensions: 1
Dimensions and sizes: [1]
Coordinates:
(0) c72267

In any case, neither of the following options work:
         opt@fout = dirobs+cell+"yearly_statsall.txt"
nor
         opt@fout = dirobs+"yearly_statsall.txt"

Either option appears to give the correctly intended output name, but
neither works:

open: No such file or directory
apparent state: unit 31 named
~/ERA40/MODA/rain.grb.avg.dir/region/obs-yearly-1958-2001/c72267yearly_statsall.txt
lately writing direct unformatted external IO
Aborted (core dumped)

open: No such file or directory
apparent state: unit 31 named
~/ERA40/MODA/rain.grb.avg.dir/region/obs-yearly-1958-2001/yearly_statsall.txt
lately writing direct unformatted external IO
Aborted (core dumped)

Many thanks,

isabella
