This will load the data as a time series with one data file per step. Then you can apply the "Group Time Steps" filter which reads all the time steps into a multiblock dataset (the equivalent of running Group Dataset on them). Of course if your dataset has a time dimension too, you will have trouble reading that since you are already using time for something else...<br><br></div><div>I see Ufuk has replied since I started typing this and his python scripting approach may be superior if your dataset has time steps already.<br></div><div><br></div>HTH,<br></div>Shawn<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="m_1927719124372581445h5">On Mon, Aug 7, 2017 at 2:55 PM, Amelia Launspach <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:amylaunspach@gmail.com" target="_blank">amylaunspach@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="m_1927719124372581445h5"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:13px">Hello everyone,</span><div style="font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-size:13px">I was assigned a small project on ParaView and I need help getting started.</div><div style="font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-size:13px">I need to find a way to loop through N number of source files in the Pipeline Browser and return the count for number N and group them together using the group dataset filter.</div><div style="font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-size:13px">Each time I upload the data it will be a different number of files that look something like this:</div><div style="font-size:13px"><img src="cid:ii_15dbe0d31f06cf16" alt="Inline image 1" width="511" height="460"><br></div><div style="font-size:13px"><div>Right now there are N=22 files but the N will differ each time.
