[esp-r] Re: 10 column limitation using RES - is now a 29 column limit

[Jon Hand]

I had a look at the code in the results analysis module (table.F) and was able
to adapt the code so that it can now display about 20 columns of
information (with single space or comma delimiting) in the graphic
mode as well as about 29 columns of data when exporting to
an external file.

This has been tested on a few dozen models and appears to be
working ok for a range of display options and data delimiter
types.  Several of the validation scripts have also been run
and the results are identical (except for some reports where
more data is now presented).

This has just been committed to the Jon_Hand branch as revision 4655
for those who might want to look at the changes.

Regards, Jon Hand

dear Scott

SW incident solar does not work for transparent surfaces, for
transparent surfaces you can simply check the value from the parent
opaque surface.

and yes there is the limit for ten colum values in res, I solved this
problem by writing scripts and running them automatically. You can run
the res with mode text, record the key sequence and write a script
that saves the data on multiple files. The following script reads the
"libb" file of results and saves the internal surface temperture for 4
walls in two separate files "out1.dat" and "out2.dat"

--------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash

res -mode text -file libb << EOF

c #time step report
g #performance matrix
> #out to file
out1.dat
first data
b #temp
i #inside surface
a #wall-1
b #wall-2
- #exit
! #list data
> #out to screen
> #out to file
out2.dat
second data series
b #temp
i #inside surfaces
c #wall-3
d #wall-4
- #exit
! #list data
- #exit
- #exit
- #exit
EOF
----------------------------------

I hope this helps you
