Re: Query variable names of NetCDF files

[Andres Sepulveda]

Using octcdf something like this should work

nc=netcdf('./SCRATCH/roms_grd.nc','r');
for count=1:length(var(nc))
 namevar=name(ncvar(nc){count})
end


combine it with 
 
 if (strcmp(namevar,'zeta'))

to select a variable

Or you can use try-catch to avoid a crash if the variable is not there.

Hi everybody,

I'm new to the list and having a hard time trying to find out how to 
query the variable names of netCDF files with octave... So far I have 
being do it first with ncview but then it happens that I try to read a 
variable name from a file (open with cid = netcdf(myfilename,'r')) which 
does not contain that variable and my program crashes... Can somebody 
help? It's surely an easy one... Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Ismael.
