I have made two arrays using julday and have been trying to go through each of those arrays to find matches. However, it only searches up to the 70 first lines of the larger array and dosen't give all the possible matches.

There are probably cleverer ways to do this, but the problem seems simple enough that a simple tool may be the best. Suppose the dates are d1 and d2 (d1 is the shorter vector)

maxmintime=0.01
n1=n_elements(d1)

mintime=fltarr(n1)
minid=lonarr(n1)
for i=0,n-1 do begin
dt=abs(d1(i)-d2)
mintime(i)=min(dt,loc)
minid(i)=loc
endfor

g=where(mintime lt maxmintime)
if g(0) ne -1 then begin
d1=d1(g)
d2=d2(minid(g))
endif else print,'No matches!'
