Section 5. Split

Array-based

With an entry of 1[30] and 2:3:4[600..1200]: in the Copy condition, Split will
only process the data file when the time is between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.

(This assumes 2 is the year element, 3 is the day element, and 4 is the
hour/minute element.)

Time ranges cannot be used with the time-sync function.

Select

The Select line specifies which elements of an Output Array are selected for
processing and/or output to the specified Output File. The Select line becomes
operable only after the Start Condition and Copy condition are met, and before
the Stop Condition is satisfied. If the Select line is left blank, all elements in
output arrays meeting the Start Condition and Copy conditions are output to the
Output File.

Processing is accomplished through arithmetic operators, math functions,
spatial functions, and time series functions.

Ranges

Element numbers may be entered individually (e.g., 2,3,4,5,6,7), or, in groups
(e.g., 2..7) if sequential. Range limits (lower to upper boundary conditions)
may be placed on elements or groups of elements specified in the Select or
Copy lines. For example, 3[3.7..5],4..7[5..10] implies that element 3 is
selected only if it is between 3.7 and 5, inclusive, and elements 4,5,6, and 7
must be between 5 and 10, inclusive.

If range limits are used in the Select condition, when Split is run, any data
which are outside of the specified range will be highlighted according to the
options chosen for the output file. TABLE 5-5 summarizes what each option
produces on the screen and in the output file if out of range data are
encountered. This type of range testing is a quick way to identify data
problems.
