Re: [ferret_users] importing an ascii file

Hi Antonio,

I just had success by adding a delimiter value and specifying the  
variables.

Given your example dataset:

yes? define axis/X=36:36:1/units=degree clorx
yes? define axis/Y=-11:0:1/units=degree clory
yes? define grid/X=clorx/Y=clory clorgrid
yes? file/form=delim/delimiter=" "/type=numeric/skip=1/ 
var="Lon,Lat,Chl"/grid=clorgrid junk.txt
yes? list Chl
             VARIABLE : CHL
             FILENAME : junk.txt
             SUBSET   : 12 points (LATITUDE)
             LONGITUDE: 36E
               36E
                 1
 0     / 12:  0.1810
 1S    / 11:  0.2057
 2S    / 10:  0.2166
 3S    /  9:  0.2312
 4S    /  8:  0.2379
 5S    /  7:  0.5971
 6S    /  6:  0.5526
 7S    /  5:  0.1303
 8S    /  4:  0.1093
 9S    /  3:  0.1023
 10S   /  2:  0.1191
 11S   /  1:  0.1263

It makes three separate data sets though, so there may be a more  
elegant way.

Hope that helps, apologies if I missed something.

Evan
