Re: csh script and ncl

Dear Mark,

if you have defined the infile variable in the csh script, e.g.

set infile = "inputfile.nc"

then you can call ncl within the csh script using the variable like this

ncl 'infile="'$infile'"' ncl_script.ncl

The ncl script should contain a check if the variable exists, e.g.

.....
   if(.not. isvar("infile") .or. infile .eq. "") then
     print("ERROR: no input file given")
     exit
   else
     print("NCL script - input file: "+infile)
   end if

   f = addfile(infile,"r") ;-- open file
....

Bye,
Karin
