Re: [ferret_users] Refer to a file with an escaped character

[Olivier Marti <olivier.marti@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From the "/Volumes" path, I guess you're on a Mac (?)

I've tested it, and its works, with quotes and no escape character.

yes? use "/Users/marti/My File.nc"

yes? show data/all

     currently SET data sets:

    1> /Users/marti/My File.nc  (default)

....

I use pyferret 7.6.3 installed with Anaconda (python 3.9), on MacOS X 12.4 (Monterey)

What version do you use ? It could come from the readline library, which is not probably not the same in different version of [py]ferret

Hi all -

I have a netcdf file on an external disk with a space character in the directory name. I can find no direct way to bring it into Ferret.

All commands done from within Ferret:

1) The file exists (note the escaped space character in the directory name):

yes? sp ls -l /Volumes/WD\ Backup/Data/P145e_g.e20.G.TL319_t13.control.001.pop.wcit.2007_5day_FOR3p5Ntest.cdf
