Deleted a comment because I was dumb. However, the point still stands from the deleted comment that I had to add //ToExpression to your definition of ns to get it to work. The numbers were not being treated as actual numbers, it would seem.

Forgot about FileNameTake. Should be ok now!

Fly in my ointment: Mathematica takes the file name to be the full absolute location, ie. C:\\Folder 1\\Folder 2\\FileName(1).csv. Can I get it to ignore the directories and give only the file name by itself? There are numbers in the folders and it throws everything off :/

| Jan 8, 2013 at 18:54 | comment | added | skratch | Ah yes it's obvious now that the 1 belongs to Flatten[]. Sorry for being lazy. I will want to spend a bit of time playing around with the code. | |

@skratch The last 1 in the code block is a parameter to Flatten, the level to flatten the data to, as in Flatten[data,1]. This controls how the final list of index pairs are presented. The code that generates the j part of the index is Range@Length@rs You can replace this with any list of unique numbers of the same length as the number of runs in your filename numbers. You might want to try running the sub-parts of the makeIndices function, outside of the function, to see what they do.

| Jan 8, 2013 at 18:22 | comment | added | skratch | This place is full of wizards. I think this is exactly what I want. I will give it a shot soon. One question for now: I will be working with groups of files from various folders, and as such I would like to control what number "j" (NewNamej(k).csv) starts at. Is that the very last "1" in the block of code containing makeIndices? | |
