<div>I am not sure that you are using the sprinti command correctly. I think you need a comma before the gfs name. However, it would be best if you provided context for what you are trying to do. For instance, a complete sample script that tries to read the filename. Also, you could include a file for reference.</div>

<p> This is my file. I need the file to read my GFS ensemble forecast (every 6 hours) to be read and the program is set so that it reads every hour, so it won´t do anything at all (it keeps telling me there are missing files).</p>
<p>Can you please help?</p>
