Hi..

Could any one show me explicitly how to open a multiple files at a
command line?? what I want to do is take 2 arguments <filename> at
the command line. 

e.g	% read <inputfilename> <outputfilename>

where the argument could be:

	a) inputfilename: only one inputfile and it will generate a
	   multiple outputfiles with the extension .001.data..

	ex: % read datain dataout

	then my directory will have

	    % dataout.001.dat  dataout.002.dat dataout.003.dat ..and
	so for up to n output files.


	b) inputfilename: multiple inputfilename have a pattern
	   input.*.data where *=001,002, 003..etc..and i'll generate a
	   multiple outputfiles with corespoding output.*.data


Thank you very much to all who responses..E-mail please.
