<p class="gmail-MsoNormal">Hey, GrADS’ers.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormal">Simple question about g2ctl and templating over GFS analyses. I’m pulling data from NCEP’s HAS system, and when I get the data, it looks something like this:</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormal">gfs_4_20120730_0000_000.grb2</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormal">gfs_4_20120730_0600_000.grb2</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormal">…</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormal">When I try templating with: “g2ctl -0 gfs_4_2012%m2%d2_%h200_00.<wbr>grb2”, I get the error: ‘Argument “0730_00” isn’t numeric in numeric gt (>) at /path/to/g2ctl line 267.’</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormal">I can get around this pretty easily with some awk, but I was wondering… am I doing something wrong here, or is this just how it is?</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNormal">Thanks.</p>
