[Freesurfer] script to calculate global cortical thickness, volume etc, Is there any better way

Dear Sir/Madame

I have written a script that calculates the cortical thickness for the whole hemisphere of the brain. I have some question if there are any ways to improve the script. I can quite easily write a script in Python that runs through the file I have created and append it to a coma separate file. What is the standard way to get average cortical thickness for the entire brain using ?h.cortex.label for serval different subjects?

Your faithfully
