This is needed to clean up names supplied for output files > (i.e. names of files which may not yet exist). Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but this appears to not be backwards-compatible. I used to be able to do something like: % stats ndf='gw20060206_1_var( 1:1024,1921:2048)' ...and have it get the NDF section properly. Now, this gives: % stats ndf='gw20060206_1_var( 1:1024,1921:2048)' !! Cannot access 1:1024 ! Please give a new value for parameter NDF ! From the ORAC-DR output it appears that the spaces within the quoted string are being escaped out: #9 Err: !! Invalid NDF dimension bound '\ \ \ 1' specified; bad syntax. #9 Err: ! Error in dimension 1 of the NDF section expression '(\ \ \ #9 Err: ! 1:1024,1921:2048)'. #9 Err: !

Cheers, Brad.
