[netCDF #WLD-888937]: can I suppress printing of the variables block

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
