I'm not sure if it has been explained, but your error message
is telling you that readu,1,data[i].sizes does now work,
because data[i].sizes is an expression. It is similar to
readu,1,x + 4
or
readu, 1, abs(array)
in that IDL executes the data[i].sizes almost like it was a
function, and it returns the array you request (i.e. the 'sizes'
field of the fourth element of the data array).
Just read it directly into an array, the assign the array to the
structure in a second line.
The fact that your filename is called "named" and the error message
says you need a "named array" is just a coincedence.
ALSO, look at the line:
data.sizes=findgen(numfiles)
I am not sure this is doing what you want it to do.
Cheers,
