Re: addfiles function

The way you are using it ... yes.

However, I see no advantage over using addfile

    data = new((/nstations, ntime/), "float") ; nstations=number_of_files

    do ns=0,nstations-1
       f = addfile (fils(ns), "r")

      ;calculate start/end indices for input file start/end dates
       data(n,st:en) = (/ f->x /)
    end do
