Hi,
you can do a filesearch on the headers only
filesToOpen = filesearch('image*.hdr') --> all that start with 'image'
and ends with '.hdr')
then remove the last 4 characters from the strings. Test if the file
exists. If yes, open it. If not, try to add the common extensions (.dat,
then .img etc). Of course, sort the order of the extensions (nothing,
..dat etc) so that most images to process have the first extension (or
lack of extension).
here is a slightly different code that I use. The user select a file. If
there is no extension in that file, it is open. Otherwise, the code
looks for the file with the possible extensions.
fileToOpen = dialog_pickFile(path = searchFolder, GET_PATH =
searchFolder, /must_exist, title = title)
;If the user selected a .hdr, remove the extension and find the correct
one.
if (STRLOWCASE(strmid(fileToOpen,3, /REVERSE_OFFSET)) eq '.hdr') or
(STRLOWCASE(strmid(fileToOpen,3, /REVERSE_OFFSET)) eq '.aux') then begin
fileToOpen= strmid(fileToOpen, 0,strlen(fileToOpen)-4)
extensionNotFound = 1B
currentExtension = 0
tmpFileToOpen = fileToOpen
commonExtensions = ['.dat','.img']
while extensionNotFound and currentExtension lt
n_elements(commonExtensions) do begin
if FILE_TEST(tmpFileToOpen) eq 0 then begin
tmpFileToOpen = fileToOpen + commonExtensions[currentExtension]
currentExtension +=1
endif else begin
extensionNotFound = 0B
fileToOpen = tmpFileToOpen
endelse
endwhile
endif
