This was my first try. It doesn't quite work, because I can't get the
format statment right (how do you insert linebreaks?)

;;; failed attempt.
file='hum.txt'
ndata=file_lines(file)
data=intarr(28, ndata)

for year=2000,2005 do begin
openw, unit, string(format="('HumNWS_',I04,'.txt')", year), /get_lun

idx = where(data[1,*] eq year, cnt)
if cnt gt 0 then begin
fmt=string(format="('(',I04,'(28i6))')", cnt)
; it would ne neat if IDL actually allowed to add newlines between
the blocks here.
printf, unit, format=fmt, data[*,idx]
endif

free_lun, unit
endfor
end

;;; Second attempt: use explicit for loop.
file='hum.txt'
ndata=file_lines(file)
data=intarr(28, ndata)

for year=2000,2005 do begin
openw, unit, string(format="('HumNWS_',I04,'.txt')", year), /get_lun

idx = where(data[1,*] eq year, cnt)
fmt='(28i6)'
if cnt gt 0 then $
for ii=0,cnt-1 do $
printf, unit, format=fmt, data[*,idx[ii]]

free_lun, unit
endfor
end

HTMH,
