<br>
I need suggestions/solutions on dealing with the problem of opening
files with julian day included in the names.<br>
<br>
I have files that named with the following name format:
m6s4_3hYYDDDHH.bin,<br>
where YY represents the last two digits of the years (01 is 2001); DDD
is julian day; HH is the hour of the start of the measurement<br>
<br>
If grads allowed a julian day formats it could have been opened with
"m6s4_3h%y2%jd%h200.bin" in the dset file location as follows.<br>
<br>
dset ^m6s4_3h%y2%jd3%h2.bin<br>
OPTIONS template<br>
OPTIONS big_endian<br>
OPTIONS yrev<br>
UNDEF -9999<br>
TITLE Precipitation estimates<br>
XDEF 1440 LINEAR 0.125 0.25<br>
YDEF 480 LINEAR -59.875 0.25<br>
ZDEF 01 LEVELS 1<br>
TDEF 1 LINEAR 00z01jan2001 3 hr<br>
VARS 1<br>
per 1 99 (mm/hr)<br>
ENDVARS<br>
<br>
Since I cannot do that, I know that one of the options is to use<br>
DSET ^m6s4_3h%ch.bin<br>
CHSUB 1 1 m6s4_3h0100100.bin<br>
CHSUB 2 2 m6s4_3h0100100.bin<br>
..................................................<br>
CHSUB 20448 20448 m6s4_3h0736521.bin<br>
OPTIONS template<br>
<br>
but that includes so many lines. Is there a way around this, unless I
physically rename files to be consistent with grads format names?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
