Iterating over file sets is a common task in the process of script-based data preparation and analysis. Typical scenarios include the automated conversion of files from formats other than JMP (e.g., measurement files, which are coming in on a day-to-day basis) and the extraction and collection of intermediary results from file sets, which are too large for a simple join. Rather than talking about what is done with the individual files, I will focus on the iterating framework and will present a set of helpful functions.
