Re: "Dimension sizes of left hand and right hand side ofassignment do not match"

Thank you. The problem arises with other filenames ("fname", e.g.), also.

Michael,

With your sample file, you may try the following code.
The main problem with your code is that "file" is a reserved word in NCL.

        Hello.

        I'm using ncl 5.1.1. In a do loop that updates file names ("file" here) and reads from those files, I am trying to

        vars = asciiread(file,-1,"string")
        var_of_interest=stringtofloat(str_get_cols(vars,beg_col,end_col))

        However, I get the "Dimension sizes of left hand and right hand side of assignment do not match" at the line number for the "vars=asciiread..." after the first do loop iteration. It looks like this kind of thing is a pretty common problem to stumble upon (via googling for this), but when I try and implement the suggested fixes, they don't seem to work (e.g., deleting used arrays after they've been used, i.e., after the "var_of_interest=..." line, trying to do different things with the dimensioning/sizing of the vars, etc.).

        Any suggestions?

        Sample code:

        "do i=0,9-1
         
        ii=i+1
        ic=new((/1/),string)
        ic=ii
         
        file="/home/"+ic
        vars = asciiread(file,-1,"string")
        var_of_interest = stringtofloat(str_get_cols(vars,28,30))
        print(var_of_interest)
        ;delete(vars)
        ;delete(var_of_interest)
        end do"
         
        And it might be working on ascii files like one called "1" looking like:
         
        "Bogus ascii file
        blahblahblah 123
        blahblahblah 321"
         
        There might be 9 of these files, called "1" through "9".

        Thanks!
