Dear Bob,
thanks a lot for your suggestion. It works,but when I put the expression in a loop it doesn't work anymore

I am reporting here the loop

Do[
 grbid = If[NumericQ[ToExpression[#]], "0" <> ToString[#], #] & /@
   grbs;
 Data456 = Import[# <> ".txt", "Table"] & /@ grbid[[bb]];
       GRB = {};
 GRBtot = {};
 GRByerr = {};
 GRByerrUL = {};
 GRByerrorTot = {};
 Do[
  row = Data456[[i]];
  time = Data456[[i, 3]];
  flux = Data456[[i, 15]];
  errTimePos = Data456[[i,=0A 3]];
  errTimeNeg = Data456[[i, 2]];
  errFlux = Data456[[i, 16]];
  symTimeErr = (errTimePos - errTimeNeg)/2*1.65;
 =0A (*LogSymTimeError=Log[10,time+symTimeErr]-Log[10,time];*)
  If[errFlux > 0, dlogSymTFluxError = errFlux/(flux*Log[10])];
  (*If[errFlux==0,
  dlogSymTFluxErrorUL=1/(2*Log[10])];*)
  AppendTo[GRB, {Log[10, time], Log[10, flux]}];
  AppendTo[GRByerrorTot, {dlogSymTFluxError(*,dlogSymTFluxErrorUL*)}];
  AppendTo[GRBtot, {{GRB}, ErrorBar[GRByerrorTot]}],
  {i, 1, Length[Data456]}];
 (*Plots of whole LC and the selected parts:*)
        p1 =
  ErrorListPlot[GRBtot, PlotRange -> Full, Frame -> True,
   Axes -> False, RotateLabel -> True, PlotStyle -> Black,
   PlotLabel -> grbid <> " NEW"]  , {bb, 1, Length[grbs]}]

I mean I have a file for every grbs and I would like to perform computation on each single file.

Thanks again,
Best regards,
Maria

grbs = {"80825593", "80916009", "81006604", "81024891", "81224887",
   "90217206", "90227772", "90323002", "90328401", "90510016", "90531775",
   "90626189", "90720710", "90902462", "90926181", "91003191", "91031500",
   "100116897", "100225115", "100325275", "100414097", "100620119",
   "100724029", "100728095", "100826957", "101014175", "101123952",
   "101204343", "110120666", "110328520", "110428388", "110529034",
   "110625881", "110709642", "110721200", "110731465"};

grid = Table[grbs[[bb]], {bb, 1, Length[grbs]}];

This doesn't accomplish anything since

grid == grbs

True

You defined grbs with strings so none of its elements are numeric. To
test whether the elements could be converted to numeric you would use
NumericQ[ToExpression[_]]. And, since they are already strings you
wouldn't need ToString. However, if you want to handle either strings
or numbers you can do both.

You need to Map your function onto the elements of your list

grbid = If[NumericQ[ToExpression[#]], "0" <> ToString[#], #] & /@ grbs;

Import[# <> ".txt", "Table"] & /@ grbid
