Cannot read saved .tim files with blank states

[Ashley Sutcliffe]

Hi there,

Just started using this for producing some timing diagrams for some documentation. It produces beautiful PDF diagrams: just what I was after following a long search.

I have found a bug with blank states on buses. You can add them in the GUI, which is great (I want some blank states to indicate that the data doesn't matter), but if you save and reload, the file is not loaded correctly.

A blank Start_State or blank State in an Edge in a saved .tim file will raise the following exception:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.util.NoSuchElementException

        at java.util.StringTokenizer.nextToken(StringTokenizer.java:332)

        at org.dmad.ta.TimFileIO.parseString1(Unknown Source)

        at org.dmad.ta.TimFileIO.readDigitalBus(Unknown Source)

        at org.dmad.ta.TimFileIO.processFileRequest(Unknown Source)

        at org.dmad.ta.TimFileIO.<init>(Unknown Source)

        at org.dmad.ta.TimingDiagram.openFile(Unknown Source)

The rest of the timing file will then not be loaded.

Here is a complete example:

Hello Ashley,

I will fix this and let you know when the new version is ready.  Maybe this weekend.

Thanks for your feedback,
Dan

Hi Ashley,

Sorry I haven't been able to start working on the next version.  I have been working OT and don't have much extra time to work on the program right now.    

It will get fixed in the next version.  I'm just not sure when that will be.  If its holding you up from getting some work done,  let me know.

Thanks, Dan
