ncdump

[Lee Byerle]

Kristian,
You may use unix to get netcdf data to ascii (w/o ",", ";" etc):

for example:
ncdump -v u10 myfile.nc > u10_din_dump

#remove extraneous characters
sed 's/,/ /g' u10_din_dump > temp1.out
sed 's/;/ /g' temp1.out > temp2.out
sed 's/}/ /g' temp2.out > temp3.out

#Strip top lines of header
tail +94 temp3.out > new_u10.out

new_u10.out is ascii file.
