<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Is there some standard convention for encoding date/time stamps in file names? If there was, the file browser could group them together, which would in turn cause the file series reader to see them as a file series. It would also be possible to change the file series reader to grab a time stamp from the file name. This could be a good entry for UserVoice.<BR>

use the python shell within paraview<BR>
<BR>
the following pseudo-code will get you almost there<BR>
<BR>
import glob<BR>
files = glob.glob('foo_*.hdf')<BR>
files.sort()<BR>
# open the first file, set up your visualization, then get the object handle<BR>
<BR>
reader = FindSource('foo_1995-03-21T01-00-00.hdf')<BR>
<BR>
for i in files:<BR>
reader.FileName = files[i]<BR>
reader.UpdatePipeline()<BR>
Render()<BR>
