m3totxt [and answer the prompts]
where INFILE is the logical
name of the input file, and REPORT is the logical
name of the report file to which the ASCII report is printed.
The program will prompt you for the starting and
ending date time and the time step for the report period, the layer
and the starting and ending columns and rows for the window to be
extracted. Default values for the time period are computed from the
metadata in the INFILE header, and may be accepted by
hitting the RETURN key.
If you want to run this program in batch mode (from a script), the recommended way to develop the script is to run the program once interactively noting the pattern of responses to prompts which generate the particular analysis you want. The pattern of responses then becomes either a command-input file which is redirected into the program in the script, or becomes a "here-document" fed into the execution.
