Hi,
This might be a very easy task though, I keep missing something and
I'm stuck with this type conversion error. My problem is : I have a
dataset and in the 6th line of these data, there is some information I
want to use to open other files. What I mean is I will gather month-
day-year information from this line and by using this I will determine
the number of that day for that year( julday(x,y,2002)-
julday(1,1,2002) etc..). And then find the files (another data set in
the same folder) corresponding to that day. The data set goes like
2002_current211.dat,2002_current218.dat etc.. So I just want to write
something like
filename=year+'_current'+day+'.dat' which I can not do. Here is the
code I have:
day3=strmid(b,22,2) ; where b is the 6th line.
day2=string(day3)
day1=fix(day2)
day=intarr(1,1)
reads,day1,day
I do the same for year and month also
numofday=julday(month,day,year)-julday(1,1,year)
then when I say :
filename=year+..............
I always get : % Type conversion error: Unable to convert given STRING
to Integer. or
% Type conversion error: Unable to convert given STRING to Long.
What is missing or wrong? Help please
Regards,
Anil
