4.1.9 print statement

     print(variable_name/attribute name/string, format string);

The print function takes a variable name or attribute name or a quoted string and prints the contents in a in a similar fashion to ncks -H. There is also an optional C style format string argument. Currently the print function cannot print RAM variables or expressions such as 'print(var_msk*3+4)'. To print an expression, first evaluate it as a non-RAM variable (so it will be saved and can be printed), and then print the variable.

examples

     print(lon);
     lon[0]=0
     lon[1]=90
     lon[2]=180
     lon[3]=270
     
     print(lon_2D_rrg,"%3.2f,");
     0.00,0.00,180.00,0.00,180.00,0.00,180.00,0.00,
     
     print(mss_val_fst@_FillValue);
     mss_val_fst@_FillValue, size = 1 NC_FLOAT, value = -999
     
     print("This function \t is monotonic\n");
     This function is 	  monotonic
