TChain -> Merge()

Hi Rooters,

I am trying to merge trees of the same kind which sit in different (smaller) files into one.

Sorry, I know this issue has already been proposed in the past but I was not able to find the reply to noeding (<merging root files>, Fri May 28, 2004 14:04).

I use a TChain and:

m_The_Chain->Merge(FileToWriteFinal,100000,"C");

crashes, while

m_The_Chain->Merge("AllTheTrees.root");

gives me a final file whose size is roughly one hundred times bigger than the sum of the initial smaller files.
I have tried both with uncompressed and compressed (level 9 files). I tried with several releases, for instance v4.02.00/rh73_gcc296/.

        What am I doing wrong?

                Thanks, regards, Giovanni Received on Fri Feb 18 2005 - 17:47:09 MET
