[neutron-mc] Mcformat Problems

[Aaron M. Percival]

Hi all,

 

I've been having some problems running the mcformat utility on my windows
machine.

 

I have two directories that contain results from two runs of the same
simulation and I would like to merge the data.  In the directories are the
data from various detectors, along with the list file from a virtual_input.
I run the following command line:

 

C:\>mcformat --format=McStas --force --test --dir=C:\test c:\temp\one
c:\temp\two --merge

mcformat: Will process and merge/scan 14 data files in 2 directories.

 

And seemingly the process will work, however, when I remove the --test
option, I find the following errors:

 

C:\>mcformat --format=McStas --force --dir=C:\test c:\temp\one c:\temp\two
--merge

mkdir: EEXIST pathname C:\test already exists (not necessarily as a
directory).

mcformat: Warning: re-using output directory 'C:\test'.

mcformat: Will process and merge/scan 14 data files in 2 directories.

mkdir: ERROR 22 using mkdir.

mcformat: Fatal error accessing C:\test\c:\temp\one. Aborting.

 

And the merging process will not complete.  Even if I remove the --dir and
--force options, I get the same results.  Upon further inspection, it
appears as though the error: 

 

mcformat: Fatal error accessing C:\test\c:\temp\one 

 

is directly related to the --dir option, or if this option is unspecified
the current directory, in that 

 

mcformat: Fatal error accessing [CURRENT_DIR or option --dir]\c:\temp\one

 

as though the output directory is being concatenated with the first input
directory.  Furthermore, I do notice that before the fatal error,
mcformat.exe does create the desired c:\test folder.

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron
