[ncl-talk] Segmentation fault with addfiles and addfile

[Gus Correa]

Hi Jenney

1) Maybe a missing trailing "/" in the "dir" variable?
This would make the file names wrong, and could explain the error message
Error: "warning:_NclOpenFile: Can not open file <filename> file format not
supported or file is corrupted"

2) Have you tried to add
print(files)
after
files=systemfunc(...)
to check what is in the "files" variable, just to see if it is really what
you want?
Once you know the "files" variable is correct, you can comment out that
"print".

I hope this helps,
Gus Correa
