append renaming to nc history

Added by Christopher Danek almost 5 years ago

Hi
Is it possible to append just a renaming to the history of a nc file? I could not find this info in the cdo docu.
Thanks a lot,
Chris

Hi!
appending (or not appending) to the global history attribute is completely up to the user. There is no internal selection of what should be appended or not. Be default everything will be appended, so you have to select what not to append

Hi Ralf
Thanks for you reply. But how can I add the entry 

 history = "Tue Mar 31 12:32:49 2020: mv fin fout

so that the renaming is documented in the history?

I think you can do this with the NCO command ncatted: 

ncatted -a history,,a,c,'mv A to B' input.nc
CDO does create a new file, which is probably not, what you want.
