Thread: Scanning of filename_i.dat files with i=1:N in a C code.

hello experts,
I have a quick question regarding the scanning a certain amount of .dat files. What I have is a list of table as follow:

S809_1.dat
S809_2.dat
S809_3.dat
S809_4.dat

made of 4 columns of floating elements as you can see in the attachment.


What I want to do now is to automate the process, because I want to import N similar .dat files. So, I want to import N table made like:

S809_1.dat
S809_2.dat
S809_3.dat
S809_4.dat
...
...
...
S809_N.dat

Is there a fast way to do it? or do I have to import table by table using N fscanf in the same way I was doing?

Thank you in advance.
