On the Mac a command line way to remove line endings would be something like tr '\r' '\n' this command "translates" all carriage returns into new lines. You can then use it in a shell loop e.g. #!/bin/bash for file in *dat; do cat $file | tr '\r' '\n' > $file.out end On May 25, 2007, at 3:35 AM, Scott Calvin wrote:
Hi Bruce,
Thnks--your response helped me track down the nature of the problem. It turns out that if I "wash" the files.dat and paths.dat files by opening them on a pc and then saving them again, Artemis then does a little better, allowing me to read in path files that have themselves been washed. I suspect if I washed every text file in the directory, it might work smoothly (maybe I'll try running a calculation with only a handful of paths and doing that). The interesting thing to me is that the behavior is indeed platform-independent...Artemis on the Mac apparently needs the Feff files to have the pc end-of-line termination. :)
Does anyone out there have a simple way to btach convert a whole bunch of files from Mac CR line breaks to pc CR/LF line breaks? I'm not part of the linux or unix worlds, but can use either Windows XP or OS X methods.

I see the same problem using the two files you sent. My best guess for the source of the problem is that Artemis is not finding the "files.dat" and "paths.data" (or possibly "path00.dat") files in the same place as the "feff.inp" and "feffNNNN.dat" files. Artemis needs those files to build the interpretation page and does not handle their absence gracefully.
