[ferret_users] Pyferret file naming

[Roger Bodman <rwbodman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,


I am trying out pyferret.  I can construct a file name in python, having set the appropriate string variables, then:


>>> input_file = input_dir + file_name


and start pyferret:


>>> pyferret.start(quiet=3DTrue)

True?


but I can't get the syntax correct to use the file


>>> (errval, errmsg) =3D pyferret.run('use input_file')

 **TMAP ERR: non-existent or not on line

             Searched $FER_DESCR and $FER_DATA for input_file(.nc ,.cdf,.des)


I want to use the full file path/fiilename, equivalent to


use "/um-results/ESM1_HI-C2C-10E_results/HI-C2C-10E_ohc_cube19510630.nc"


which works fine in the usual way, and not have to worry about moving files=
 to $FER_DATA


Thanks,


Roger
