Hi all, I spent some time on an airplane this morning fixing this problem that Josh reported. It should be fixed in the next release. In light of this being a linux-only problem, I will probably make a source code release before the new windows executables are ready. B P.S. In case you are curious, "\x" is perl's way of explicitly specifying a unicode character and the argument in braces is the character number expressed in hex. "\x{d}" is, therefore, the carriage return character, sometimes written "\r". So basically, perl was trying to tell me that I was handling the dos/unix end of line issue incorrectly, but it was telling me in a really obfuscated way. Fascinating stuff ... not! -----Original Message----- From: ifeffit-bounces@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov on behalf of joshua jason kas Sent: Tue 5/29/2007 12:13 PM To: ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov Subject: [Ifeffit] Using windows apj files on linux Hi, I recently updated to redhat 4. I am running: artemis 0.8.009 IFEFFIT 1.2.9 Tk-804.027 perl 5.8.5 I have an artemis project file that I started on my win xp machine and would like to use on the linux machine. When I open the apj file on linux, some of the information about the fits seems to be scrambled. Here are some of the symptoms. 1) The raw logs seem to have aquired the following escape character at the end of each line: \x{d} This shows up as a carriage return or end of line on this screen. 2) Quick summary of selected fits gives 0 for all reported values (chisq, rfactor, nidp, etc) and does not report any guessed parameters. Here is one of the quick summaries. Note that the \x{d} do not show up here, but they do in the artemis message palette. I am also attatching the project file. Thanks for any help, Josh Kas Project title : Fitting pt1_amine_165_he_573.chi Comment : fer dw, constant delr, ei=0, kw=1, kmin=2.0, rmin=1.2 Figure of merit : 17 Fitting statistics Number of independent points : 0 Number of variables : 0 Chi-square : 0 Reduced chi-square : 0 R-factor : 0 Measurement uncertainty (k) : 0 Measurement uncertainty (R) : 0 Guess parameters =*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*==*=
