PLUMED error: "cannot understand the following words from the input line : ..."

[Suman Chakrabarty]

Hello! I am getting a error message "cannot understand the following words from the input line : ..." whenever I try to use continuation lines using "...".

For example, as a test case, when I try:

TORSION ...

ATOMS=342,344,346,362 LABEL=t

... TORSION

PRINT ARG=t FILE=colvar.torsion STRIDE=1

I get the following error:

+++ Internal PLUMED error

+++ file Action.cpp, line 198

, + message: ERROR in input to action TORSION with label @0 : cannot understand the following words from the input line : ...

I am getting similar error if I use:

TORSION ATOMS=342,344,346,362 LABEL=t

PRINT ARG=t FILE=colvar.torsion STRIDE=1

Error:

+++ Internal PLUMED error

+++ file Action.cpp, line 198

 )+ message: ERROR in input to action PRINT with label @1 : cannot find action named t (hint! the actions in this ActionSet are: t

But the following works!

t: TORSION ATOMS=342,344,346,362

PRINT ARG=t FILE=colvar.torsion STRIDE=1

I am a bit puzzled with this. Can somebody please point out what mistake I am making in the first two formats of the input file? Or is there any problem with my compilation of Plumed? Thanks.

Best regards,

Suman.

Hi Suman,
once it happened this to me when I was trying to use windows edited files.
I noticed that this can be noticed if you open the file with vi. At
the bottom it says "dos".
hope it helps.

Dear Davide,

Thanks a lot! You were absolutely right! Even though my "vi" does not show any "dos" message or end-of-line special characters, still "dos2unix" command fixed this issue for me.

Best regards,

Suman.

Hello sir,
