Hi all,

I just tested the code from ikegami in my script, and the last file was still not processed. I guess the key is, when I generate the sub-files separately, and then use this code, all the sub-files are processed. However, when include this code in the entire script, only the first 3 out of 4 files are processed. Is there a reason for this behaviour?

I could include the entire script if that would help

Thanks, Austin-

my @files = <substituent_R*.txt>;

+e \"$fn_out\": $!\n");
