netcdf.inqVarID - Return ID associated with variable name
Syntax
varid = netcdf.inqVarID(ncid,varname)
Description
varid = netcdf.inqVarID(ncid,varname) returns varid,
the ID of a netCDF variable specified by the text string, varname.
ncid is a netCDF file identifier returned
by netcdf.create or netcdf.open.
This function corresponds to the nc_inq_varid function
in the netCDF library C API. To use this function, you should be familiar
with the information about netCDF contained in the NetCDF
C Interface Guide for version 3.6.2.
Examples
This example opens the example netCDF file included with MATLAB, example.nc,
and uses several inquiry functions to get the ID of the first variable.
ncid = netcdf.open('example.nc','NC_NOWRITE');
% Get information about first variable in the file.
[varname, xtype, dimids, atts] = netcdf.inqVar(ncid,0);
% Get variable ID of the first variable, given its name
varid = netcdf.inqVarID(ncid,varname)
varid =
