The issue is that I need to be able to both, split the names of the

achieved this I need to append the sorted files onto one another in
one long file so that I can pass them into a verification package.
I've tried changing the name to textline and I get the same result
I'm very happy to hear that changing the name of a variable did not
affect the way the program works! Anything else would be worrisome.
- the sorted files overwrite one another.
Variable *time* names a list, with one member for each input file. But
variable *newtime* names a scalar value, not a list. That looks like a
problem to me. Either of the following changes might help:
Original:
for x in time:
hour= x[:2]
print hour
newtime = year+month+day+'_'+hour+'00'
Alternative #1:
newtime = []
for x in time:
hour= x[:2]
print hour
newtime.append(year+month+day+'_'+hour+'00')
Alternative #2:
newtime = [year + month + day + '_' + x[:2] + '00' for x in time]
