ascii file

[Francis P A]

Hi Martine
 What Mallikarjun suggested was to write out a binary file only. I saw a
reply for your mail by Prince Xavier, which will write out the ascii file.
Accedently I deleted your mail; but what I remember is that you need to
write-out a variable of 12 time steps into an ASCII file.

You can use either  method Prince suggested or use a 'print' statement as
follows.

'set t 1 12'
'set gxout print'
'set prnopts %6.2f 12'
** to define the format of output
'd myvariable'
say result
l1=sublin(result,2)
write ('myfilename.txt',l1)
yr=yr+1
endwhile

Hope this will help you

Francis
