ncdf_quickread_helper.pro
This function returns the filename name from the full path.
This function returns the directory name from the full path.
This routine ensures that the given name does not start with a number,
nor contain a dash. IDL cannot accept a variable starting with a
number or containing a dash. If the name starts with a number, an
underscore is prepended to the name, and if it contains a dash, the
dash is replaced with an underscore.
This procedure creates a script to read the data in a given netCDF
file into IDL. The default output file is the name of the netCDF
file with idl replacing any existing suffix. The default output is
variable data only.
