Dear All,
       I met a proplem in writing strings into a file. The sting I want to output stings into a file, but didn't succeed because the double quotation marks ("") in the string can't be defined. The strings is a line like this:

                 step => "0",

       So, my ncl scripts is as following:

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/shea_util.ncl"
begin
   lines = new(22,string)
   lines(0) = "step => "0","
   asciiwrite ("foo", lines)
end

    And the wrong informations is as following:

+ lines(0) = "step => "0","
+ asciiwrite ("foo", lines)
+ end
fatal:Syntax Error in block, block not executed
fatal:error at line 9 in file t.ncl

      Any help or suggestion is appriciatble.
      Have a good day!

Sincerely,
Li
