<div dir="ltr">Have you considered the input to addfiles? You appear to be passing the filesize value (column 5 when you run ls -l (lower case L) in your directory) to the NCL function. I can't imagine this is intended, as addfiles is looking for the file name itself - but fname ends up as the size, not the name. Even if you were getting them as names, you then run toint(fname), which should fail if you were actually getting the names as strings.<div><br></div><div>Try using 'ls -1 filenames*.nc' (the number one) and this should print out all of your files in that directory with one name on each line, a format that addfiles will read from quite well and you can avoid your use of awk. Your current method could also work, but would require pulling a later column in the awk command (perhaps 9?).</div><div><br></div><div>Consider what you actually want your 'print(fsz)' statement to output...you do well by looking at it, but that output is showing you the problem of trying to read the variable from a bunch of numbers and not files.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Kyle</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">----------------------------------------<div>Kyle S.
