Hello all!<br><br>I am looking for a method to extract a variable's description and units from the control file. For example, if I plot tmp2m, is there an easy way to extract the description of what tmp2m is from the control file so that I can use it on the plot in a string or title? I know I can print the available variables and other info with the 'q file' command, but to grab the description and unit from the resulting text seems to be a complex task. Since I know I can 'q time' to get the time info, is there a similarly simple way to grab a variable's description/unit?<br>
<br>I've searched online for examples of how to do this but I can't find anything. Maybe I'm approaching my issue in the incorrect manner? I'm making plots of model data for a personal website on a regular basis (eg. similar to <a href="http://www.instantweathermaps.com/">http://www.instantweathermaps.com/</a> or accuwx pro, but much, much less comprehensive). I can't use OpenDAP with my web server, so I'm using shell scripts + grads scripts. <br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Joe<br><br>
