I am trying to edit a script so that it deletes the old data before plotting new data. The script seems to work except for deleting the old data. Any ideas?
Here's my script.
ERASE

Re: Help with script
On my own scripts I always have:
REMOVE
ERASE
LOAD,C:\Users\weather\AppData\DigitalAtmosphere\ne_atlantic.dmf
See my script HERE for the full thing.
You can use a wildcard to ingest all the .wmo files in one go if you like, rather than having to put a separate line in for each file:
ingest,C:\Users\weather\AppData\DigitalAtmosphere\data\*.wmo
I hope that helps.

I'll try that when I'm in the office today, but I thought I already tried that.
Thanks, Budgie!

Still doesn't seem to remove the old data before plotting the new data. Here's my revised script. Any thoughts?

Re: Help with script
I have run a test of your script here and it works fine.
The only things I changed was the locations of where the files were saved.
All my data files are saved at: C:\Users\weather\AppData\DigitalAtmosphere\data\
The "weather" part is the name of the PC so I think yours would be something like: C:\Users\David\AppData\DigitalAtmosphere\data\
Have a look and see if there's a DA folder at that location on your PC, as I seem to remember that's where DA auomatically saved the data when I first started using it, so I stuck with that location.
I don't know if it'll make any difference but it's worth a try.
