You might hate me for this (and will probably disagree), but:

The job you describe can be solved much more compact with a perl
script that generates a makefile which does the rest when called
with make -f 'makefile' (and will be a lot faster on a large number
of files). IDL is just not so great for tasks like
this (which are very far from numeric computations).
