First of all, as another poster commented already, SAVEVAR should not
be inside the second loop. (I assume READVAR, SAVEVAR and STRSUBST are
user defined functions that do what they should.) Second, why is there
a user defined function AVG for averaging? IDL already contains a
function MEAN to do that.
Apart from that, this code looks like 20-year old IDL code. It will
not even run on IDL 8.0 and newer (or maybe with a compile option for
backwards compability?) due to use of () instead of [] for array
access. () was deprecated already in IDL 5.0 about 15 years ago... The
function FINDFILE was also deprecated in IDL 5.5 about 10 years ago,
but still works. Use FILE_SEARCH instead.
