Hello all,

Can any one tell me how can I create n number of output files in idl.
For eg. I want to create fout(i).dat where i=0 to n. Instead of using openw,1 etc. is there any other way of creating it??

No you use OPENW. This question gets asked at least once per week. See what this does:
PRINT, STRING(FOUT[i],format='(A,".dat")')

Do you mean something like this? In general, I would always use the
/GET_LUN. Also, be careful, there are limits to the number of open files
at a given time.

luns = lonarr(n)
for i = 0L, n - 1L do begin
openw, lun, filename[i], /get_lun
luns[i] = lun
endfor

; do whatever you want here

for i = 0L, n - 1L do free_lun, luns[i]
