This doesn't make any sense. String is a particular variable type. Image (typically some sort of 2d numeric array) is a different variable type. (OK, OK, so it could be 3d....)

Further, trying to cast a string to double, in general, doesn't work. (Unless the string is a number of course.)

TVSCL takes a 2d array. So, a string wouldn't work - wrong variable type. You can't "visualize" a string in this way. Perhaps what you mean is the data in the files (the strings) have 2d data?

If so, you need to actually read in the data. I'm guessing you want something along the lines of READ_CSV, READCOL, etc. You'll manipulate the output to make a 2d array.

Craig's post gives a clue how to do this. ("operate on DIR"). This is where you would read in the data, for each string (file).
