the problem needs to be specific because I have no idea what you are thinking of: 1) Are the number of lines per file going to be the same? I.e., you can have a variable number of lines, N, but the N is independent of the file you choose? 2) Are you doing a line by line average? For 2 files of 3 lines each, will you end up with a final average with 3 data points (1st line from 1st file with the 1st line from second file and so on), or will you just have the average of all 6 points? There are many more uncertainties to your question, please be more specific. W -- S: mm W: hum, dan's been idle for almost three days..... W: what's up with him!? S: have you seen him? is he dead?
