[netCDF #SFV-348763]: simple question

Hello,

Your approach sounds correct, although it is difficult to say the execution is 
proper without the code, or a sample netCDF file which demonstrates this. You 
mention you are changing `start`; are you also modifying `count`? Also, when 
you say 'huge', how large is the file?  

I wonder if it would be possible to use `nccopy` or `ncdump` to facilitate the 
conversion in this case.  Using nccopy and ncdump, you are able to specify 
specific variables to include.  The CDL generated by ncdump could be edited by 
hand to remove the extraneous values, at which point ncgen could be used to 
convert the cdl back into a binary file.  This is a one-off solution, however, 
as it may be fairly time consuming given the size of the data.  

If you can provide the binary file, or a netCDF file that can be used to 
demonstrate this issue, I'd be happy to take a look at it, as well as the code 
you have written.

I hope this helps!
