Re: cutting a string

Did you look at any of NCL's string functions?

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/

Click "Functions" at the top

Click "Category" ===> Under 'General NCL routines', Click "String"

                        1 2 3 4 5
              0123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234
  fil_name = "ts_Amon_ACCESS1-0_historicalrcp45_r1i1p1_185001-210012.nc"
  mdl_name = str_get_cols(fil_name, 8, 16)
  ymStrt = str_get_cols(fil_name, 41, 46)
  ymLast = str_get_cols(fil_name, 48, 53)
