<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi, Chang
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have yet to figure out how to loop through files in such a way using purely NCL. There is the "addfiles" function, but I don't believe that loops through files -- it just pulls in the variables from all files and I'm not sure how to keep things separate. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have handled this problem in the past by using a wrapper in an external language (Python, for example), and running things directly from the shell. Looping in other languages is much more straight forward (in my opinion), and shouldn't be too difficult
to accomplish. <span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">If you need assistance doing this, I would be happy to lend a hand/provide an example. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>
