Examples

## Set a temporal working directory, write input files and homogenize them:
wd <- tempdir()
wd0 <- setwd(wd)
data(climatol_data)
write.table(Temp.est,'Temp_1961-2005.est',row.names=FALSE,col.names=FALSE)
write(Temp.dat,'Temp_1961-2005.dat',ncolumns=12)
datsubset('Temp',1961,2005,1991) #subset data to shorten example run time
homogen('Temp',1991,2005) #obtain homogenization output files

## Now run the example:
outrename('Temp',1991,2005,'bak') #rename them to avoid being overwritten

## Return to user's working directory:
setwd(wd0)

## Input and output files can be found in directory:
print(wd)
