Problem reading a HDF5 file with readGDAL in Windows

In which case you can change the extension to '.nc' and do

library(raster)
library(ncdf4)
x <- raster("E:/downloads/OMI.L2.CloudOMCLDO2Strip200kmAlongCloudSat.2015.05.05.020752Z.v003.nc",
var='Data Fields/ChiSquaredOfFit')

Not a remedy, but the following might be a workable alternative...

ncdf4::nc_open("OMI.L2.CloudOMCLDO2Strip200kmAlongCloudSat.2015.05.05.020752Z.v003.he5")$var$`Data
Fields/ChiSquaredOfFit`

I'm not familiar with HDF5 structure, so not sure of possible downsides.

Cheers,

Hello,

I am trying to read a HDF5 file whose variable name contains '//'. I have
no
problem in a Linux machine, but 'readGDAL' throws an error in Windows. If I
am not wrong, it is because the initialize method of the
'GDALReadOnlyDataset'
class includes a call to 'normalizePath'.

For example, the next code works in Linux but fails in Windows (it uses
this
file

ftp://atrain.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/s4pa//OMI/OMCLDO2_CPR.003/2015/125/OMI.L2.CloudOMCLDO2Strip200kmAlongCloudSat.2015.05.05.020752Z.v003.he5
)

x <- readGDAL("HDF5:OMI.L2.CloudOMCLDO2Strip200kmAlongClo
udSat.2015.05.05.020752Z.v003.he5://HDFEOS/SWATHS/
CloudFractionAndPressure/Data_Fields/ChiSquaredOfFit")

Is there any way to circumvent this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Oscar.
