sample error depending on the name of sampleDict element
 
Hi,

==1==

Just wondering.

==2==

When the below command is executed for an arbitrary case

Code:

sample -latestTime
for the following piece of code of sampleDict:

Code:

1D
    {
        type    uniform;
        axis    distance;
        start  ( 0 10 -184 );
        end    ( 0 -10 -184 );
        nPoints 200;        // Number of points which are sampled.
}

The following error pops up:
Code:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
wrong token type - expected word, found on line 98 the label 3

file: ~/system/sampleDict::sets at line 98.

    From function operator>>(Istream&, word&)
    in file primitives/strings/word/wordIO.C at line 74.

FOAM exiting

==3==
When I change the name of the sampleDict element from "1D" to "downstream1D", the code can be executed.

Code:

downstream1D
    {
        type    uniform;
        axis    distance;
        start  ( 0 10 -184 );
        end    ( 0 -10 -184 );
        nPoints 200;        // Number of points which are sampled.
}

==4==
I only wonder the reasoning behind this if you like.

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards.
