Thank you VERY much! You're awesome!

Thanks! That's extremely helpful and exactly what I want! I'm just having difficulties in incorporating it into my for loop... for ($i=0; $i<$size; $i++){ $thickness = &layer($altitude[$i],$altitude[$#altitude-1]); } I can't do $altitude[$i][$#altitude[$i-1] or I get a syntax error. :-\...

Within a subroutine, I need to pass in two parameters...a current value (which will be passed in from the value array), and the previous value (the element in the value array BEFORE the current element). I need it to do this for every function call. Any suggestions? The array length varies each...

I have something like the following but its obviously not correct. It also seems circular. The initial value for $prevalt should be 0, then should be rewritten with the previous altitude that was passed into the subroutine each time it's called. I think the way I have it now $prevalt is...

I'd like to write a subroutine that performs an average of a variable over a specific layer of the atmosphere. In order to do the averaging, I need to pass in the values I wish to average (that part's easy), the current altitude (also easy), but then I also need the previous altitude since I am...

Got it working now! Thanks!

I'm able to get the program to create the directory, but I can't get it to stick the files in it. I have something like... mkdir "dirname"; opendir (dir, dirname); open (file, >'/dirname/filename.txt'); print file "testing 123"; That's off the top of my head so there may be a syntax error...

Thanks for all the suggestions! A current method I tried that seems to work is something along the lines of doing it within a for loop... for ($i=0; $i<$size; $i++) { print "$pressure[$i]\t$temperature[$i]\t$rh[$i]\t$uwind[$i]\t$vwind[i]\n"; }

Yes, exactly! --Josh

Anyone have any suggestions of how to print numerical data out to a file in neatly organized columns? I've seen it done with a for loop, but I'm thinking formatted print. Any ideas? Thanks!

Ahhhh, ok I understand now. That makes sense. Thanks very much!

Stupid question...but how come in the loop if I print the array all the numbers in range show up, but outside of the loop only the last one (2454378) does? I'd like to be able to store all of these numbers (julian dates) into an array that I can manipulate the elements of later. Any ideas...

The year, month, day, and time...as inputted by the user.

Within an array of files, I'd like to search for files with a specific pattern. All the files follow a standard format (for example, abc123.YEAR.MONTH.DAY.abc.TIME). I'm trying to use grep but I think my implementation may be incorrect. Here's an example of how I'm trying to do things...

I can't seem to figure out why the subroutine is only returning the 3 values for the last element in the array I am passing to it in the foreach statement. The array @juliandate contains two elements, so I'd like to perform the calculation for both elements. Can anyone enlighten me as to where...
