Re: [ferret_users] using arguments in file creation

["Yu, Hao-Cheng" <danish.url@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,

Maybe try with 

frame/file=Forecast_timestep-`L`.gif

I use ` instead $ and it works!

Hi there All,

I've been trying to loop through a time axis and write out plotted
images to a file using:

yes? repeat/L=1:65 (sha/levels=(0)(0,60,5)(200) rnd; vector/overlay/k=18
u, v; go land; frame/file=Forecast_timestep-$L.gif; pause;)

However, ferret is not substituting the $L for the numbers (1:65) in the
resulting filenames..

Is it possible to create files using similar (altered) syntax?

Thanks,

Paul
