Re: Pass a string to NCL from within a c-shell variable?

Maurice,

If the below doesn't work, you can also try the "testit.csh" c-shell script with the "test.ncl" NCL script:

testit.csh:

#!/bin/csh -f

set f="test.nc"

eval ncl fname=\\\"$f\\\" test.ncl

test.ncl:

if(.not.isvar("fname")) then
  print("fname not defined")
else
  print("fname = " + fname)
end if
