Hi, you may use list.files('dir-of-your-files', ...) to get the paths of all the files, and use file.info() to get the date attribute, then order them by date, and finally in a loop
for(i in paths-of-your-files){ open.ncdf(i, ...) ... } Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Phone: +86-(0)10-82509086 Fax: +86-(0)10-82509086 Mobile: +86-15810805877 Homepage: http://www.yihui.name School of Statistics, Room 1037, Mingde Main Building, Renmin University of China, Beijing, 100872, China On Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 5:13 AM, Brian Pettegrew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I am fairly new to R programming.
