MM5V3 Conversion Utility

File Conversion Utility for MM5 V3 Model on SGI Origin 2000

convert.pl [4,8] [4,8] [4,8] [4,8]

convert.pl is used to convert MM5V3 output data sets with integers of length $ARVG[0] and floating point numbers with size $ARGV[1] bytes to data sets with integers of size $ARVG[2] bytes and floating point numbers with size $ARGV[3] bytes.

convert.pl makes an executable if required. It uses this executable to read in all of the files in $PWD/data_in attempting to convert them and places the converted data sets in $PWD/data_out.

To convert data sets with convert.pl:

place MM5V3 data sets in ./data_in.
convert.pl requires 4 arguments with a value of 4 or 8, e.g. ./convert.pl 4 4 8 8
mv ./data_out/* <your_data_directory>
./convert-out contains standard output from the convert program.

To make and run convert by hand:

setenv INTEGER_IN [4,8]
setenv REAL_IN [4,8]
setenv INTEGER_OUT [4,8]
setenv REAL_OUT [4,8]
cd src; make
cd ../data_out
foreach <data_set>
ln -s ../data_in/<data_set> fort.71
../src/convert-i?r?i?r?
rm fort.71
mv fort.72 <data_set>
