Re: storing unequal numbers of data under one variable

In *nx, if you have files named a, b, c, d you can concatenate

   %> cat a b c d foo

to create file 'foo'
-------
In NCL,

    ftxt = "foo"

    system("/bin/rm -f "+ftxt)
    system("cat a b c d "+ftxt)

    allData = asciireread(ftxt,...)
            :

If the files you want begin with APPLE

    fili = systemfunc("FOO*")
    fstr = ""
    do nf=0,nfili-1
       fstr = fstr + fili(nf)+" "+
    end do
    print(fstr)

    system("cat "+fstr+" "+ftxt)

    allData = asciireread(ftxt,..."
