All,

I am using the ucar.nc2.FileWriter to write an opendap file to a local nc
file.  The process works great, but I¹ve noticed that if there are ³.² in
the name of the variable being written (i.e. ³temperature.anomalies²), an
error (stack trace below) is thrown during the FileWriter.finish() call and
the write fails.

Error Stack:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: NetcdfFileWriteable.write illegal
variable name = temperature.anomalies
at ucar.nc2.NetcdfFileWriteable.write(NetcdfFileWriteable.java:538)
at ucar.nc2.NetcdfFileWriteable.write(NetcdfFileWriteable.java:477)
at ucar.nc2.FileWriter.copyAll(FileWriter.java:267)
at ucar.nc2.FileWriter.copyVarData(FileWriter.java:223)
at ucar.nc2.FileWriter.finish(FileWriter.java:459)
at 
com.asascience.edc.nc.io.NetcdfGridWriter.writeFile(NetcdfGridWriter.java:24
7)

Is there a way I can work around this?

Thank you in advance,
Chris
