I just looked at my ctl files (windows 7) and they all use the ^ to
default to the current directory. I have to run grads from that
directory to make this work. I use a command window, cd to the
directory and then run grads from the command line. <br>

<div> In the past "^" expansion worked on windows, but since I
am not a windows user I have to rely on users to report such
problems. In fact, the model.ctl that I use for tests has "^"
in it and all windows builds passes 100% of the tests. </div>

</div>
<div> Can you send me the full name of the directory where the
data resides? I want to make sure there is no glitch with the
handling of specific directory names when expanding "^".
Please send me the 2 versions of the ctl file: one with the
"^" and the other with full pathname and I will take a look.</div>

<div>The GrADS documentation states that "If a ^ character
is placed in front of <i>data_filename</i>, then <i>data_filename</i>
is assumed to be relative to the path of the descriptor
file. If you are using the ^ character in the DSET
entry, then the descriptor file and the data file may be
moved to a new directory without changing any entries in
the data descriptor file, provided their relative paths
remain the same."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, I have not been able to get this to work.
My descriptor (.ctl) and data file (.bin) have exactly
the same names, apart from the extensions, and reside in
the same folder. Here's the applicable "dset" line in
my descriptor file:</div>
<div>
<div>dset ^tfit.air-nino+soi+amo.lt12.jan51-02.bin</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If I include the full pathname in dset, it works
fine. However, I want to be able to move the files to a
new folder without having to edit the dset entry. Is
there an equivalent for Windows?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm using GrADS version 2.0.1.oga.1 on a Windows 7
pc.</div>
