How to extract file name to symbol?
Does anyone know how to get the complete file name corresponding to a
dataset number, and place it in a string symbol? Ferret will display the
info with, e.g.,
yes? show data/brief 4
currently SET data sets:
4> /net/atw/dynamic/predict/cz/diags/diag439/climatology.nc
but I can't figure out how to get hold of that file name so I can use it
in a script. Is it stored in an internal ppl symbol somewhere? Or is
there any way to send the output of "show data" to a file?
Thanks for any help you can give,
Andrew
