T, Well. The problem is in your Dataset name:} stream=ocea,param=200,DATE=20000101,TIME=0000,STEP=0,EXPVER=0oc7,CLASS= RD,TYPE=AN,NUMBER=0,METHOD=0,LEVELIST=7.000,LEVTYPE=DP,REPRES=LL,DOMAIN =G,salinity.nc;The parser is barfing on the first "=" character (Line 58, column 9)James? Is this in any way a legal name? If so, how does he need to "escape" the "=" (and possibly the ",") characters?
