 The script reads the input file and writes a lot of data about the file as output. See the program code (and the comments within) how things work and compare it to the output.
 Please notice that the input file contains the ozone variable twice (in different units: ug/m3 and nmol/mol, this was generated for user convenience when the file was generated by the database). However, when reading the file, the nmol/mol varable gets automatically converted to ug/m3 as it would be stored in ebas. If you do not want this behaviour, you can specify the argument --skip_unitconvert in order to avoid this conversion. In this case you will need to use the argument --ignore_parameter as well, otherwise the paramter is rejected because of the wrong ebas unit.

 ```

 Now, the file is read as is, no unit conversion is done, and the ozone variables in both units can be accessed.

 ### Convert to other file formats: ```ebas_flatcsv.py```
 
 This example originates from a data user's request whether we could deliver EBAS data in a different file format. He wanted to have a simple, flat, highly redundant csv format for easy ingestion of the data into his software. We came up with this short script and he was able to convert the EBAS NASA-Ames files we delivered by himself. No new data format to maintain for us, full control of the interface for the data user.
 ```bash
-./ebas_flatcsv.py Testdata/*.nas```
+./ebas_flatcsv.py Testdata/*.nas

 All files in the Examples directory are read and the data are written to one flat csv file called 'output.csv'.
