Hi Annie:

You need to use the javadoc for ucar.nc2.Variable:

> Greetings support crew,
> 
> I'm trying to parse each variable in a NetCDF file.  For example, if I
> print out each variable in ncFile using:
> 
> for (Variable var : ncFile.getVariables()){
> System.out.println(var);
> }
> 
> One of the variables that prints will look something like this.
> 
> float lat(lat=180);
> :units = "degrees_north";
> :long_name = "Latitude";
> :actual_range = 89.5f, -89.5f; // float
> :standard_name = "latitude";
> :axis = "Y";
> :coordinate_defines = "center";
> 
> I'm totally stumped on how to isolate each of those list components in the
> variable.  Because 'var' is neither an array or structure, I don't know how
> to isolate any given line within var.  Is there a method I'm missing that
> could help with this?
> 
> Please let me know if you need any other information!  I appreciate any
> insights you can give.
