<DIV><PRE style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">Here's another way using a csh script. Like Jennifer's method we have
the top part
of the ctl file in a file called "ctl_template1" (basically everything
before the "tdef"
line, and the bottom part in another file called "ctl_template2"
(everything after the
"tdef" line. We then cat the first file, get today's date, and cat the
second file.
The resulting ctl file (final.ctl) has today's date as the tdef.
Jim
#!/bin/csh -f
cat ctl_template1 >! final.ctl
set day = `date +%d`
set cmon = `date +%b`
set year = `date +%Y`
echo "tdef ocean_time 29 linear 00Z$day$cmon$year 6hr" >> final.ctl
cat ctl_template2 >> final.ctl
