Re: Missing files in addfiles

I don't hink addfiles allows what you want directly.

The following may work for you.

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/ind.shtml
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/isfilepresent.shtml

    files = (/ "qwerty", "abcdef" /)
    ii = ind( isfilepresent( files ) ) ; indices of True

    print(files(ii))

    if (.not.ismissing(ii(0))) then
        f = addfiles( files(ii), "r")
          :
    else
        print("All files missing")
        exit
    end if
