Re: Finding out a file's path

To my knowledge, the answer is "no".
You can not determine the path/file to which "file" is pointing.

[1] Since "file" is an NCL reserved keyword, I am surprised you
      did not get and error message.

[2] I always recommend:

       diri = "/some/path/"
        fili = "wrfout_d02_2007-01-06_00:00:00"
        f = addfile (diri+fili, "r")

[3] Also, you may want to look at: get_file_suffix

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Contributed/get_file_suffix.shtml

sometimes this can come in handy.

Good luck
