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

Hi Muarice

[1] Maybe [untested]

ncl inFile=\"{$outFile}.tmp.nc \" outFile=\"{$outFile}.nc"
./hybrid2Pres.ncl

[2] For sure

%> ncl ./hybrid2Pres.ncl

where within the hybrid2Pres.ncl script you use

    inFile = getenv("outFile") + ".tmp.nc"
    outFile = getenv("outFile") + ".nc"

Let me know
