Hello,
The previous response sent by Larry Horowitz is one way to approach
the problem. A cruder way is to establish some directory [say, CURRENT]
and, if u r archiving these files, an archive directory [say, ARCHIVE]
When your cron file executes, it
(1) looks in CURRENT and reads the *one* file there [no need to know the name]
(2) your NCL script accesses the file in CURRENT,
processes it, and finally, moves it to ARCHIVE leaving
CURRENT empty
a sketch [I have not tested this]
begin
diri = "./CURRENT/"
path = systemfunc ("ls "+diri) ; read in the one file in CURRENT
surface_dat = asciiread(path,(/1000,5/),"float")
[do your thing]
diro = "./ARCHIVE/"
system ("mv "+path+" "+diro+fili) ; archive the file
; CURRENT will be empty
end
Regards,
Dennis Shea
