Re: problem with yyyyddd_to_yyyymmdd

Sorry for the delay.

The following works

fn = "WenshanWang.test.txt"
ncol = numAsciiCol(fn)
opt = 10

dd = readAsciiTable(fn, ncol, "float", opt)
yyyymmdd = yyyyddd_to_yyyymmdd(toint(dd(:,1))*100 + toint(dd(:,2)) )
print(yyyymmdd)

Processing the each row (line) one at a time like you do fails.
Not sure why. A bug report will be filed.

Good luck
