Error in loadStationData: object 'nc' not found

[tubabucak]

Dear all,
Today after re-installing the packages and updating R, the following codes started to giving error: object 'nc' not found. I could not find the reason. Any help is appreciated.

library(loadeR)
library(climate4R.datasets)
library(visualizeR)
library(VALUE)
library(climate4R.value)

data("PRUDENCEregions", package = "visualizeR")
bb <- PRUDENCEregions["IP"]@bbox
lon <- bb[1,]; lat <- bb[2,]
v86 <- file.path(find.package("VALUE"), "example_datasets","VALUE_ECA_86_v2.zip")
y <- loadStationData(dataset = v86, var = "precip",
lonLim = lon, latLim = lat,
years = 1979:2008)

Error in loadStationData(dataset = v86, var = "precip", lonLim = lon, :
object 'nc' not found

Hi. I encountered the same issue. Have you fixed it yet? if yes, please show me how :)
Many thanks!

I think at this point I gave up but I did not try it again. I am out of office now, I will try and let you know if it is working next week.

The problem was related with the condition used to decide if a dataset is defined by a NetCDF or other data format (text or zip):
(grepl("\.ncml$|\.nc$|\.nc4$|", dataset))
It has a disjunction at the end which makes the condition always TRUE and, then, the function tries to open a NetCDF instead a zip or text file. The bug has been fixed in the development branch.
