Re: getfiledimsizes

Dear Mateus,

Unfortunately, the variable returned from "addfiles" is different from
that
returned from "addfile", and you can't use the "getfile" type functions
on anything returned from "addfiles". I need to update the "addfiles"
documentation to reflect this.

Dennis or somebody else may correct me on this, but I believe the only
way you can query dimension sizes is to query them from one file
at a time. (Obviously, if they are the same on every file, then you only
need to query one file.) You can do this by opening a single file with
"addfile"
and using the "getfiledimsizes" function on it.

FYI: if you retrieve a variable from an "addfiles" list of files, it
will not have
metadata automatically attached to it. To get around this, you can use
a function called "addfiles_GetVar":
