Re: Characters, strings, netcdf, wrf and bears - oh my

I figured it out:
Stringtochar returns an extra character, so this works:
Xt = stringtochar(xta)
Times(2,:) = xt(0:18)

Hi all-
I have a WRF netcdf file I am trying to fix:

Times(2,0:18) = "2050-04-02_03:00:00" is what should appear in the netcdf
file. Instead it has: Times = ""

So I wrote up some ncl code to replace the missing characters.

Times = g->Times

 xt = new((/1/),"string")
 xt = "2050-04-02_03:00:00"
Times(2,:) = stringtochar(xt)

this should work in theory but it doesn't yielding a dimension mismatch with
the stringtochar(xt) yielding 20 elements and Times having only 19.

If I truncate:
Times(2,:) = stringtochar(xt(0:18))
Then I end up with a:
fatal: subscript out of range, error in subscript #0
fatal:An error occurred reading xt
fatal:execute: Error occurred at or near line 18 in file mod.ncl

How can I solve this problem?
