[las_users] Extracting file path for various data sets

[Geoff Stanley <gstanley@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Is there a way to get the file path as a string for each of my data sets? Specifically, I am looking for what comes after "FILEPATH" when LIST'ing a variable, and I would like it placed into a variable.

yes? list G_DZT

             VARIABLE : thickness t grid (m)

             FILENAME : tavg.15000.01.01.nc

             FILEPATH : r8_riv/xSOw/1.0/

             SUBSET   : 27 points (Z (m))

 7.5    /  1:   20.0

 [... clipped...]

This, coupled with

    LET path = {SPAWN:"pwd"}

will give me the full file path.

If it would be possible to have this variable exist for all my data sets, that would be even better! I can think of some very roundabout ways involving LIST'ing a variable that we know will exist and GREP'ing the output, but hope there's a better way.

Thanks!
