Hi, I am interested in using the spawn command in IDL to search for a list of files and store them in a variable. Something like: spawn, ['find /Volumes/folder1/*.lc'], sourcefiles will store all of the file paths in an array sourcefiles, which I can access individually. Is there a way to use the spawn command with a idl/unix variable storing the path, such as: path='/Volumes/folder1/*.lc' spawn, ['find' path], sourcefiles. I'm trying to do this so I can easily parse the file paths for individual files. Thanks in advance!
