why not reading from script?

2 Attachment(s)

I have put this script (plot)on my desktop as well as some other simple scripts and have given its address to bashrc as below:

Code:

PATH=$PATH:/home/ehsan/Desktop/codes

other scripts are working well but plot doesn't by this error:

Code:

ehsan@Ehsan-com:~/Desktop/WR_Main_Central$ plot rhoCentralFoam

plot: rhoCentralFoam: No such file or directory

plot: ignoring this file

(for example report file performs fine but plot doesn't)

Try to use the export command in .bashrc to make the variable global:

Code:

export PATH="$PATH:/home/ehsan/Desktop/codes"

thanks.
but the error is repeated.

Code:

ehsan@Ehsan-com:~/Desktop/WR_Main_Central$ plot rhoCentralFoam

plot: rhoCentralFoam: No such file or directory

plot: ignoring this file

In the top of your plot script, you have the shebang:

Code:

#! /bin/sh

try to remove the space, such that it become

Code:

#!/bin/sh

Also make sure that you have made the script executable, by calling

Code:

chmod +x plot

from the folder with the plot script.

Greetings to all!

@Ehsan: What happens if you run the contents of the script directly on the command line? Namely:

Code:

pyFoamPlotRunner.py --hardcopy --with-courant --progress --no-pickled-file rhoCentralFoam

Best regards,
Bruno

dear Bruno I have been using that untill now and thought it will be better to do that by a short command and script but it doesn't work.

Mmm... strange... OK, then try changing the first line:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

To:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

If it still doesn't work, try:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

which $1

It should tell you where rhoCentralFoam is located, namely it should give the same as running on the command line:

Code:

which rhoCentralFoam

no.which command doesn't work in script but work in terminal:

Code:

ehsan@Ehsan-com:~/Desktop/WR_Main_Central$ plot rhoCentralFoam

plot: rhoCentralFoam: No such file or directory

plot: ignoring this file

ehsan@Ehsan-com:~/Desktop/WR_Main_Central$ which rhoCentralFoam

/opt/openfoam220/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin/rhoCentralFoam

I finally understand what's happening... try running:

Code:

which plot

#or

type plot

It will probably tell you it's located at "/usr/bin/plot"!

The solution is simple: rename your "plot" script!

yes that message was shown.then its name is like other script in ubuntu?
but other names don't work:

Code:

ehsan@Ehsan-com:~/Desktop/WR_Main_Central$ do rhoCentralFoam

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do'

ehsan@Ehsan-com:~/Desktop/WR_Main_Central$ runPlot rhoCentralFoam

ehsan@Ehsan-com:~/Desktop/WR_Main_Central$

What does the following command output?

Code:

which runPlot

immortality

May 2, 2013 11:37

it knows the path:

Code:

ehsan@Ehsan-com:~/Desktop/WR_Main_Central$ which runPlot

/home/ehsan/Desktop/codes/runPlot

but:confused:

OK, then confirm the contents of the file... I don't know what it looks like at this point.

If it all makes sense, try changing the first line to this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash -x

It should show you what it's doing when the script is executed.

that says this::D

Code:

ehsan@Ehsan-com:~/Desktop/WR_Main_Central$ runPlot rhoCentralFoam

+ solver=rhoCentralFoam

+ pyFoamPlotRunner.py --hardcopy --with-courant --progress --no-pickled-file rhoCentralFoam

resolved!
sorry,i had changed a postProceesing function meanwhile and didn't test full pyFoam command it terminal after that change.
then it must have been resolved when I had changed its header to

Code:

#!/bin/bash

:D
but i learned some more things!;)
now a simple question how can I set number of processors in line like this:
runPlot 4 rhoCentralFoam
what should i replace for 4 in this code? :

Code:

#!/bin/bash

solver=$1

pyFoamPlotRunner.py --hardcopy --with-deltat --with-courant --procnr=4 $solver

I guess you haven't studied properly the other script I made for merging data and the studying references I gave... Anyway, it's very simple:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

solver=$2

pyFoamPlotRunner.py --hardcopy --with-deltat --with-courant --procnr=$1 $solver
