Below is snipit of code that is intended to read in the station_id from the header of each example file. In each case the reg expression is supposed to find the 6 digit number within the parentheses. Both files contain 6 lines in the header. For some reason the reg expression will not catch the station_id in the 2nd example. Oddly however, if I paste the data portion of the first file, into the 2nd file, then the the reg expression catches the station id in the 2nd example. Any ideas?
I tried your example as posted and it does print out the station_id from each file.
