I've just started using vapor, and having a number of problems. Starting with being unable to generate a .vdf using the command listed in the docs (https://www.vapor.ucar.edu/docs/vapor-data-preparation/creating-vdf-file)
I'm using Vapor 2.3.0 on RHEL 6.5, installed from binary package.
$ /opt/vapor/vapor-2.3.0/bin/vapor-setup.sh
$ which vdfcreate
/opt/vapor/vapor-2.3.0/bin/vdfcreate
$ vdfcreate –dimension 512x512x512 –numts 100 –level 3 –vars3d t:p mydata.vdf
Usage: vdfcreate [options] filename
OPTION NUM_ARGS DEFAULT
------ -------- -------
-dimension 1 512x512x512
Data volume dimensions expressed in grid points (NXxNYxNZ)
...and on...
Is there something obvious that I am missing?
When I cut-n-paste your command I see hidden characters in the "-dimension" option. If I retype the command at the terminal it works as advertised.
Wow! Thanks for catching that. I can't believe we've never heard about this problem before. I've updated all the examples on the page and removed the bogus characters.
