[gradsusr] [BULK] Re: opening text file data

[Galebonwe Ramaphane]

Muhammad,

I'm also running GrADS on linux. I have gone over the code several times. It's one of those annoying problems. I'll attach the sample script and the text file for your inspection.

Galebonwe,

I'm using GrADS on linux and as far as I know, if your text file is in the same directory as your script, you don't have to put in the full path.
I'm not sure if it's different on Windows although I doubt so. I presume you've checked your code?
