Hi All,

Is there any way to write a blackboard variable and/or a particular
header value (such as user0) to an ascii text file from within SAC?
I can't find anything close to this other than writebbf. I also want
header values so I need something else.
Thanks,

Dylan

    Hi Dylan,

    It's been awhile since I used SAC, but a workaround for the header
    values is to write to an ascii file using "write alpha test.txt",
    then execute a unix command to grab from that new file header the
    values you want and redirect them to another ascii file like this "sc
    sed -n 2p test.txt | awk '{print $3}' > valued_data.txt && rm -rf
    test.txt". A kludge, but this approach will work. One thing about
    this though, you have to figure out how to escape SAC interpretation
    of certain characters. I forget the escape sequence(s) required to
    make that command work from within SAC. You could also however write
    a shell script that essentially is this line, then call that shell
    script with the sc command from within SAC instead, after the alpha
    write. Good luck.
