Hello,


first of all im new to Hypermesh and all the scripting. I made a tcl script, which reads a file (like .txt .UFF) and creates nodes from coordinates mentioned in the file. Everything works perfect in the tclsh-environment, it looks like this:


% set fp [open 'test.UFF' r]
file5e9730
% set file_data [read $fp]
1 1 1 1 10 0 0
1 1 1 1 0 10 0
1 1 1 1 0 0 10


I skipped the rest of the code because I think its not necessary. If I execute the script in Hypermesh I get the following error:


couldn't open 'test.UFF': no such file or directory


If I dont read the data file and define the matrix shown above manually, everything is good. So why doesnt Hypermesh find my file? Its definitely in the folder where I start the session from. I hope my problem is clear and someone can help me.

    Maybe try with full path of file, for example 'C:/Temp/test.UFF' instead of 'test.UFF'

    sry I didnt mention this I have tried this already, same error. What I find weird is that Hypermesh apparently skips the '\'.

     

    My error message:

    couldn't open 'C:UsersNutzerDocumentsStudiumzz_IAVz_TestSkript_einlesen    est.UFF': no such file or directory

     

    My line in the script:

    'C:\Users\Nutzer\Documents\Studium\zz_IAV\z_Test\Skript_einlesen\test.UFF'
