[ncl-talk] Question concerning listing files

[Dennis Shea]

THX.

So .... your directory structure had each 'Date' in a different directory
(diri = DATADir+Date)?
This was not clear (to me) in the original message.

I thought it was embedded in the individual file names: eg

   nam_xxx_20130208_yyyy_zzz.grb

Hence,
    Date = "20130208/"

    files = systemfunc("ls nam_xxx_"+Date+"*grb)

Cheers
D
