[gradsusr] opening text file data

[James Ciarlo`]

Zablone,

In that case, I haven't succesfully reached that point.

I have set script.gs as:
'open dummy.ctl'
file=7hA01.out.txt
nlinesinfile=755
i=1
'set gxout fwrite'
'set fwrite 7hA01.out.bin'
while (i<=nlinesinfile)
 res = read(file)
 line2=sublin(res,2)
 val = subwrd(line2,2)
 'd 'val
 i=i+1
endwhile
'disable fwrite'

And dummy.ctl as:
dset foo
options template
undef -9.99e8
xdef 1 linear 1 1
ydef 1 linear 1 1
zdef 1 linear 1 1
tdef 755 linear 0Z01JAN1948 1mo
vars 1
foo 0 99 foo
endvars

I opened grads and entered 'script.gs' and got this:
Warning: OPTIONS keyword "template" is used, but the
   DSET entry contains no substitution templates.

And I also acquired the file 7hA01.out.bin

Then I ran the script control.gs, that is:
dset ^7hA01.out.bin
undef -9.99e8
xdef 1 linear 1 1
ydef 1 linear 1 1
zdef 1 linear 1 1
tdef 755 linear 0Z01JAN1948 1mo
vars 1
var 0 99 var
endvars

And I got this message:
Syntax Error
  Error occurred on line 1
  In file control.gs

I changed it to:
dset 7hA01.out.bin
undef -9.99e8
xdef 1 linear 1 1
ydef 1 linear 1 1
zdef 1 linear 1 1
tdef 755 linear 0Z01JAN1948 1mo
vars 1
var 0 99 var
endvars

And got this:
Non-numeric args to numeric operation
  Error occurred on line 2
  In file control.gs

Obviously I am not doing this the proper way. How do I do this please?
