Hi all,
Does anyone has an example on how to write a scalar String variable
say comment ("this is a comment") to a netcdf file? Should I use an
ArrayChar.D1 instead of the 0-rank?
Code and comments is appreciated.
Thanks!
sorry for the lack of examples, heres some scalar String utilities:
public void createString(NetcdfFileWriteable ncfile, String name, String
val) {
Dimension slen = ncfile.addDimension(name+"_len", val.length());
ncfile.addVariable(name, char.class, new Dimension[] {slen});
}
public void writeString(NetcdfFileWriteable ncfile, String name, String
val) throws IOException {
ArrayChar ac = new ArrayChar.D1(val.length());
ac.setString(val);
ncfile.write(name, new int[1], ac);
}
public String readString(NetcdfFile ncfile, String name) throws
IOException {
Variable v = ncfile.findVariable(name);
ArrayChar ac = (ArrayChar) v.read();
return ac.getString();
}
