then you should be able to do
filenames = glob ([dir + "/freqspec-*.dat"])

to get the names of your files.

You think wrong. "glob" has been available at least since 2.9.x. Just
try "help glob".

Must be an older system. I think new Fedoras have 3.2.x. In any case,
Octave has little to do with what Linux OS it is being run on.

Sorry for not being kind. I guess I'm a little annoyed by people not
