function splitfilepath in MBLOCK

[lutz.d....@googlemail.com]

Dear developers,

I found a problem and ask if someone could provide a fix.

Description:

The function splitfilepath() provides the following result of a given path,
which is o.k. so far:

NSP Output:
=================================================================
nsp->[dirF,nameF,extF]=splitfilepath('C:\Users\lgo\Programming\ScicoslabWork\System\DAE\dae.mo')
dirF = s (1x1)

C:\Users\lgo\Programming\ScicoslabWork\System\DAE\
nameF = s (1x1)

dae
extF = s (1x1)

mo
=================================================================

In modelica generic blocks (MBLOCK.sci) the validity of the function name is checked with the follwing Statements (line 281):

==================================================================

if (extF<>'' & extF<>'.mo')|(dirF<>'./' & extF<>'.mo') then
message("Filename extention should be ''.mo'' !")
return;
end

==================================================================

This leads to an error, since extF = 'mo' and not '.mo'.

Is it possible to provide a fix?

I use nsp for teaching, function call is an essential feature.


Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Lutz Göhler.

Dear Lutz,

I have made the correction. Thanks for pointing out the bug.
It will be included in next release which should come before summer.
Anyway, you can edit the file, make the correction and then
when you will restart nsp and load scicos it should be ok.
you should see something like:

 Processing file: /usr/local/src/nsp2-trunk-gtk3/toolboxes/scicos-4.4/macros/blocks/Misc/MBLOCK.sc

indicating that the file is being resaved to binary format.

Dear developers,

I posted a problem with processing the output of splitfilepath()in MBLOCK.sci recently. The function output concerning the file extension is 'mo', but the next if statement checks for '.mo'. This happened in line 282 of MBLOCK.sci and you provided a fix. Thank you.

I checked the old version of the file MBLOCK.sci and there are similar problems in line 370 and 374.

Did you checked these lines too? If not, could you please do so? Are there other files concerned? I would be very glad if you could help me.

Although you provided a fix already I finally decided to wait for the next (binary) release.

Dear Lutz,
Yes I already changed the extension to 'mo' everywhere in MBLOCK.sci and
checked for other occurences in other files. It was the only file concerned.

OK, I hope it will be soon.
