Hi Rahul,

Sorry it has taken so long to anser your question.

There is currently no way to do what you want just using ncdump, but here's a
trick that
uses sed that is a relatively easy way to suppress the header information:

  ncdump -v varname foo.nc | sed '1,/^data:/d'

You could define an alias for this or a little shell script such as "myncdump"
that
could look like this:

#!/bin/sh
ncdump -v $1 $2 | sed '1,/^data:/d'

which you invoke like

  myncdump var filename

or

  myncdump var1,var2,...,varn filename
