Re: How to change name.

Erick,

Are you trying to make one output file for each input file? Or
something more complicated?

You have "time" as an array of 24 times. Just change this to a
single time, and the next line will make "newfile" into a single
file name.

    time = "0000"

If you have multiple input files for different times, you should add
a do loop, and process them one file at a time.

    nfiles = dimsizes (files)
    do fi = 0, nfiles-1
       current_file = files(fi)
       ; addfile for input; make output file name; addfile for output
    end

If you need more advice, please show us an example of the COMPLETE
path and file name that you want, for both input and output files.
I can't figure out this part from your original message.
