Further information. I suspect you all are correct about a security file
system problem.
As I noted earlier, the BBEdit script HydroV_dbg.scpt is invoked from
within BBEdit from a GEO file. The BBEdit SCPT file in turn invokes the
AppleScript file hdbgsub.sh. This script file runs a compiled program
HydroV that reads the GEO file and outputs a slew of files that are then
used by other compiled programs.
The reason for executing the GEO file from within BBEdit is to make sure it
is correct. Part of the BBEdit SCPT file opens the OUT file produced by
HydroV so that it can be checked.
Once a GEO file is correct, a number of Matlab programs use it. These
Matlab codes directly run the AppleScript file hdbgsub.sh with the GEO file
as the input. Other programs are then run under Matlab from the output
files that are created by running the GEO file.
Now the Matlab file that runs the AppleScript SH file hdbgsub.sh directly
is called rung.m
This file works under either the Mac OS or the Win OS. A piece of the code
from rungeo.m is shown below.
if ismac
slash = '/';
root = 'bash ';
ext = '.sh';
else
slash = '\';
root = 'C:';
ext = '';
end
[Hstat Hmsg] =
system([root,slash,'VCTTools',slash,'bat',slash,'hdbgsub',ext,'
',filename]);
Basically, this snippet either calls hdbgsub.sh or hdbgsub.bat depending
on the OS.
This is a long winded way to get to my new info.
I directly ran rungeo.m so that it would go directly to hdbgsub.sh. I got
the following message.
bash: /VCTTools/bat/hsub.sh: No such file or directory
If I try to CD from my test directory to /VCTTools directly I get
K>> cd
/Users/neillsmith/NSS_Office/Veh/Low_Re_Tests
K>> cd /VCTTools
Error using cd
Cannot CD to /VCTTools (Name is nonexistent or not a directory).
So in Finder I can get to /VCTTools and edit files. BBEdit can open files
under /VCTTools and edit them.
But other programs don't see this directory /VCTTools.
So what is the best fix that doesn't involve a lot of path edits and break
the simple SVN update process?
I really appreciate all of your help.
