Hi I have WRF file containing 12 hours. Now I want to convert that wrf-arw file to six arl files containing two hours/file. I type the below command and always hit error. What should be the right command for doing this? The command "./arw2arl ./wrfout.nc" work just fine. Thank you in advance.

./arw2arl -b[1] -e[2] -t[60.0] ./wrfout.nc
PGFIO-F-231/formatted read/internal file/error on data conversion.
In source file arw2arl.f, at line number 225

Remove the brackets from the command line. Thy this instead:
./arw2arl -b1 -e2 -t60.0 ./wrfout.nc

Thanks so much Barb!!!!

Exclude the brackets, the command works. But "-t60.0" seems does not work so I deleted it. "-b1" and "-e2" are fine.

Thanks again.
