Re: sorting out the files

Hi Prabhakar,

One solution would be to create a file with just the names of the HDF
files arranged in the order you want:

3B42.090609.0.6A.HDF
3B42.090609.3.6A.HDF
3B42.090609.6.6A.HDF
3B42.090609.12.6A.HDF
3B42.090609.15.6A.HDF
3B42.090609.18.6A.HDF
3B42.090609.21.6A.HDF

You could use
ls -1 *.HDF > input_hdf_files

to get the initial list, and then rearrange it manually into the
correct order. Then instead of doing "ls" as the systemfunc command,
you could say:

infiles = systemfunc("cat input_hdf_files")

Hope this helps,
