[chimerax-users] error with open :: 'foreach' has no suffix

[Rangarajan, Amith]

Dear Tom and Eric,

I used notepad ++ to make sure that the cxc file was not a .txt ( i am on windows) and i am still getting the error ( foreach has no suffix)  . i have  attached my .cxc script .

I am trying to read a set of .mae files and write a log file with RMSD and some distance measurements.

I am new to chimera and would benefit a lot from your review of my script and possible fixes for this issue.

thank a lot for your time.

best regards,
amith

Hi Eric, Not quite sure I understand your theory abut Amith's error. In current ChimeraX daily build using non-existent files with open command open something.cxc foreach somethingelse.py > No such file/path: something.cxc ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerStart

Hi Eric,

  Not quite sure I understand your theory abut Amith's error.  In current ChimeraX daily build using non-existent files with open command

open something.cxc foreach somethingelse.py
> No such file/path: something.cxc

gives a very sensible error message and does not try to interpret "foreach" as a file name.

Hi Amith,
That error message indicates to me that the first file name (script.cxc) isn't being recognized as a ChimeraX command script file.  So take a hard look at the command you typed and make sure that the suffix for that file is ".cxc" and not something mistyped like ".cxs" or whatnot.

Hi,

I am trying to run a script and want to use foreach ( open script.cxc foreach *.pdb) to iterate through several pdb files in the working directory.

I had no issues with running it earlier, but since last few tries, i am getting an error stating that ""'foreach' has no suffix""

I am not able to figure out how to debug this.

I am using the latest build of chimerax.

I will highly appreciate your suggestions on fixing this.

best
amith
