<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello Arlindo,</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I added CYGWIN=nobinmode to my system
variables, restarted pc, then tested same script on a DOS-style (ANSI)
text file. Same problem as before: it reads the data in the text, but "mis-handles"
the strings. It did handle the dos2unix'ed data file okay, as in
most recent test.</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The specific error message is "non-numeric
args to numeric operation" where it encounters the line "r=c-d".
However, it's also not handling the date-matching IF statement's correctly
in these instances.</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Any clues here?</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Stephen Mc</font><br><br><br><table width=100%><tr valign=top><td width=40%><font size=1 face="sans-serif"><b>Arlindo da Silva <dasilva@ALUM.MIT.EDU></b></font><br><font size=1 face="sans-serif">Sent by: GRADSUSR@LIST.CINECA.IT</font><p><font size=1 face="sans-serif">03/07/2008 08:54 AM</font><table border><tr valign=top><td bgcolor=white><div align=center><font size=1 face="sans-serif">Please respond to<br>GRADSUSR@LIST.CINECA.IT</font></div></table><br><td width=59%><table width=100%><tr valign=top><td><div align=right><font size=1 face="sans-serif">To</font></div><td><font size=1 face="sans-serif">GRADSUSR@LIST.CINECA.IT</font><tr valign=top><td><div align=right><font size=1 face="sans-serif">cc</font></div><td><tr valign=top><td><div align=right><font size=1 face="sans-serif">Subject</font></div><td><font size=1 face="sans-serif">Re: String Handling in GrADS1.9.0-rc1
