variable attribution syntax

Hi,

I have a certain algorithm that I want to perform each time over one year series - i.e :

f1=addfile("ts_1870_daily.nc","r")
f2=addfile("olr_1870_daily.nc","r")
f3= ...

and so on.

I have a series of 130 years and I would not want to change the year 130 times by hand.
Could someone please tell me what is the syntax to attribute a variable to the year , more exactely to say:

for each i ( 1870 1880 1890 ... 1999 ) do
f1=addfile("ts_$i_daily.nc","r")

Is it actually possible to attribute a value to a file name not a variable since I didn't even open yet a file or I need to combine it with a shell script or something else ?

Thank you,

Ioana
