get1Dindex_Exclude

Returns a one dimensional array of subscript indices that DO NOT match the values contained in a user specified list.

Prototype

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"  ; This library is automatically loaded
                                                             ; from NCL V6.2.0 onward.
                                                             ; No need for user to explicitly load.

	function get1Dindex_Exclude (
		x             [*] : numeric,  
		exclude_value [*] : numeric   
	)

	return_val  :  integer or long

Arguments

A one-dimensional array.

A scalar value or integer one-dimensional array of the same type as x. Must exist in x.

Return value

A one-dimensional array containing index subscripts excluding those specified by exclude_value.

Description

Finds the indices in a one-dimensional array which do not match a user specified list of values. The values must exist in the array to be checked.

Examples

Example 1

Find the subscript indices which do not correspond to years specified by the user.

  load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"
       ;
       ;
  year      = ispan(1985,2006,1)

  year_exc  = (/1985, 1989, 1999, 2005, 2006/)
  i         = get1Dindex_Exclude(year,year_exc)
     
  print(i)
