List return

[Try2Code]

Hi + sorry for the delay
the problem is, that this solutions looks good for a single line (showname,showdate,showtime,showyear,showcode) but becomes tricky for things like showlevel, where multiple vertical axes are shown (one line per variable). it looks like this

% cdo showlevel ../icon/oce.nc                                                                                                                                                                                       [Wed 2017-02-15|16:01:52]

To be consistent with your suggestion the return value should be a nested array, which reduces the beauty of it.
Do you have any suggestion for this?

It could be added a argument to return a list or return a string. This let us choose the format of output.

I finished a first guess. Could you have a look and run some tests on it? Pls check if it's useful for you

Added some code to return the list directly if the operator outputs only a single line like showname, showdate or showtimestamp.

I close this one - IMO the feature is there. but pls, feel free to open an new ticket, if anything is missing.

cheers + thanks !

Hi, again + sorry for the delay

I've tested the autoSplit argument and it works fine. Thank you for the improvement 👍

In [3]: cdo.showdate(input='/path/to/some_file.nc', autoSplit='  ')
Out[3]: 
['2017-04-18',
 '2017-04-19',
 '2017-04-20',
 '2017-04-21',
 '2017-04-22',
 '2017-04-23',
 '2017-04-24',
 '2017-04-25']
