It certainly is. Are you talking about the file names being file_1001.txt, file_1002.txt and so on? If yes, let's say your parameter values are stored in param. Then something like this would do the trick: param_values = [1000,1001, 1005, 2001] for param in param_values: fname = 'file_' + str(param) # write to file fname # # Sorry if its different from what you are looking for. But yes, its certainly possible. > > 2) Is it possible to plot the data sets right from Python itself and save > the plots in different jpeg files to stitched upon later on. It is possible to generate plots and save each as JPEGs. [1]. What do you mean by stitching together?
