Append multiple blocks/extensions to an existing output file.
dmappend infile outfile [verbose]
The dmappend tool is a simple tool to append several related blocks/extensions to an existing output file.
Note: You cannot append a block to a file if it has the same name
as a block already in the file. To see block names, use `dmlist filename blocks'.
(You can circumvent this limitation by renaming the block before appending.
See "ahelp dmsyntax" for details.)
dmappend "tmp.fits[region]" evt1a.fits
Takes the block called "region" in file tmp.fits and appends
it to evt1a.fits. evt1a.fits must already exist.
dmappend "acis*.fits" output.fits
Will find all files in the current directory with names
that start with "acis" and end in ".fits" and will
append the first `interesting' block (see the DM documentation)
from each to separate blocks
in the existing output.fits file. The block names of
all input files and the initial output file should be all
different.
dmappend @data.lis output.fits
Will open the text file "data.lis" and append
the blocks listed in the file to the existing output file, output.fits.
If "data.lis" has two lines containing dmcontreg.fits and
acisf01712N002_cntr_img2.fits, and output.fits is '273_109cnts_evt2.fits';
then this event file which originally had the GTI extensions and the event
list will now contain also a region file and an image extension.
Parameter=infile (file required filetype=input stacks=yes)
Input file name(s).
CIAO stacks may be a single filename, a comma-delimited list of
names, or '@' followed by the name of a text file containing one
filename on each line. Each filename may use the full CIAO DM
virtual file syntax.
For one or multiple input files, there should be only one single
output file.
The output file name (must exist).
The output file name that must already exist. The
input tables/images will be converted to format of
the output file. Each input file will be appended as a separate extension/block.
