Just to be clear, I was =suggesting= this might be the case, since I have had a similar thing happen to me once. I didn't get the same message I think Musa did, from this line in mert- moses.pl open IN, "finished_step.txt" or die "Failed to find the step number, failed to read finished_step.txt"; but rather this one: open IN, "weights.txt" or die "Can't read weights.txt"; I think the wrapper script deletes weights.txt just before calling cmert, so if something happens during cmert, --continue won't work, as far as I can tell. - John Burger MITRE _______________________________________________ Moses-support mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/moses-support
