Dear ferret users,
I want to get rid of first column from a ascii file before reading it in ferret. For this, I tried to make use of Jaison's idea (http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2006/msg00790.html) but I am facing a seemingly strange problem.
I can execute the following in command line without any problem.
awk '{$1="";print}' ifile.txt > ofile.txt
but when I try the same inside ferret it doesn't work.
sp awk '{$1="";print}' ifile.txt > ofile.txt
**ERROR: command syntax: unpaired quotation marks, grave accent or brackets
sp awk '{$1=""
Command file, command group, or REPEAT execution aborted
How can I
overcome this strange problem?
Thanks in advance
Jagadish
