Re: file names start with a number



Hi all,
Jaison's answer is right on the mark, but this is something we can fix in a future version, so that if the file is in the local directory, it can be opened with the FILE command that Prasad used. We'd found and fixed the same bug  for netcdf files recently and so this should be trivial to fix as well.

Hallo Prasad,
               Just give the path to the file in double quotes like :

 if it is in the pwd, then

 yes? file/grid=xxyytt/var=u/format=stream/swap "./092004_06h_dir.d"

 in general, you can give the full path

 yes? file/grid=xxyytt/var=u/format=stream/swap "/home/data/092004_06h_dir.d"


Hope This Helps

With Regards

Hello Everyone:

When I try to read a binary file "092004_06hrly_ieee_uwnd_strs_dir.d", I get the following error. however, if i rename the same file to say "xx" it works fine  (see the following script). Does anyone know why can't I use the file name starting with a number?

Thanks

Prasad
