Kent,
Thank you for the reply! I knew there had to be a different way to do
it, I didn't like the three lists in there either :-)
One thing:
I had to change the line
wRes = float(data[1][1:])
it was returning '00,' (zero, zero, comma) instead of '400', so I
changed it to this:
wRes = float(data[1][:3])
but then I thought, what if I get a tif with a resolution that is <>
than 3 digits?
So I opted for this
wRes = float(data[1].strip(','))
which seems to work fine.
Thanks again!!
Bill
