Version sniffing in sampleDict
 
Hi,

I'm working with OF 1.7.1 and 2.0 on different machines and having the problem that the old version demands "patchName mypatch" in the definition for the sample surface while the code is "patches (mypatch)" in OF 2.0. Is there any possibility to include a switch into sampleDict which makes each version reading the appropriate definition?

Best regards
Hugo

Hi Hugo,

You'll have to think the other way around, namely having two separate sampleDict files and then call depending on the version of OpenFOAM:
Code:
case $WM_PROJECT_VERSION in
 1.7.*)
  sampleDict -dict sampleDict.17
  ;;
  2.*)
  sampleDict -dict sampleDict.2
  ;;
esac
In case you can re-use most of the file, then you can try the "#include" capability that OpenFOAM has, but I can't remember if 1.7.* had it already :(

Best regards,
Bruno

Thank you very much, Bruno - this way is a good idea.
