Re: opening the files

Even better ...

   month = sprinti("%0.2i", i) ; fill with leading zeros

For fun, try

   MONTH = sprinti("%0.2i", ispan(1,12,1))
   print(MONTH)

So, when the code reads the data it reads: era.cice.h.1979-1.nc(http://era.cice.h.1979-1.nc) which is incorrect, it needs to be era.cice.h.1979-01.nc(http://era.cice.h.1979-01.nc)
