Grads time format

[claudio cortes]

In GraDS is there any function to control de date format output?

I have a script who extract values of a grib files and it's store in a
text file, but que month is not numerical.

'q time'
dat=subwrd(result,3)
hor=substr(dat,1,2)
dia=substr(dat,4,2)
mes=substr(dat,6,3)
ano=substr(dat,9,4)

..and my output is:

2007DEC0312 value value value ..etc...

..and I need the month in number (or the another option is postprocess
the file using perl or python).


Thanks...!
