[gradsusr] Simple loop question

[Matt Masarik]

Hi Emily,

The short answer is


t = 1
while ( t <= 62 )

       sdfopen  filename(t)
       set dfile t
       * do whatever with file t data *

t = t + 1
endwhile

it has lots of good info, including the code above.  You should
also become familiar with the grads webpage.

As a note, I think there is a limit to how many files you can
have open at once, and 62 is quite possibly to many.
If you don't need multiple files open at once, close them
once you finish with them---add   close t     to the
loop above.   That should give you a good head start.

Matt
