Re: how to calculate mean for many files

[febty febriani]

Sorry, I ignored your previous question. Really, my file name and where it is located are not the top secret :)

I located my file in the folder name like : dir=/home/febty/Documents/data_PLRatu/2009/data-1day-1Hz/FFT, because the input file is the FFT result.

my file name example is "freqspec-20090902Bx.dat. All files vary on the years, months and days, so I used bash command to make easy it.

I read about glob, but I think it is not the built-in function.

Lastly, I used Octave 3.0.3. I didn't upgrade it to newer one because I am doing my work in the fedora-operating-system-computer lab. I am not familiar with fedora. I usually use Ubuntu.

Ok, that's all information :)
Thanks very much for your kind response.

In general, you can use "glob" and "readdir". But it's hard to advise
more when you carefully keep all the details of how your files are
named/located for yourself. Maybe it's something top secret :)
