[ferret_users] formatting ascii output



Hi all,

Im using the following commands to output netcdf data in 2-D (X-Z or Y-
Z, 72x18 dimensions) text files without any header or rowhead:

set list/format=(1x,72F14.12) 
list/clobber/nohead/file="dust_bound_east_tr1_aug.txt" TR1[l=2,i=86,d=2]

Sample output looks like such:

.0000000000320.0000000000310.0000000000310.0000000000320.0000000000320.0000000000290
.0000000000320.0000000000310.0000000000310.0000000000320.0000000000320.0000000000290
.0000000000320.0000000000310.0000000000310.0000000000320.0000000000320.0000000000290

However, Id like to be able to read these text files into Matlab and
therefore I need a space or some tab in between the values. Is there
anyway to specify this in the format=(1x,72F14.12)? Ive tried the
"format=comma" option and leaving just nohead/norowhead but that wipes
out the formatting I need and also sometimes will write out "skipping
every 7 points" etc or the lat/lon values.  Tried the archives but
doesnt seem like much is out there.  Any ideas anyone has would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Marc
