RE: Cannot find macro on windows, was: Re: TChain

Hi Bertrand,
Indeed it was weird. Turns out that Windows 7 has the extension of the files turned off by default. What I thought was HelloWorld.C, was actually saved as HelloWorld.C.txt. I changed the Windows default to show all file extensions and now things are not weird anymore (at least until the next issue comes up).
Thanks for your inputs.
Best,
Elliott

Hi Elliott,

This is weird.. You said " I was able to run the benchmark OK " Does this mean that $ROOTSYS/tutorials/benchmarks.C is working? Is Root working with macros in $ROOTSYS/tutorials/* ? If it is the case, could you provide the macro which is not working, and the way you execute it (the exact command you type)?

Cheers, Bertrand.

Hi Alex and Nick,
Sorry, but the suggestions you made were based on my sloppy email typing. It really is c:\root\macros, and there are no spaces in my environmental variables. Any other suggestions? Thanks,
Elliott

Hi,

are your TEMP / TMP variables' values really starting with a space? They shouldn't! :-)

Can you actually read the file? Does a simple .x HelloWorld.C
work, with HelloWorld.C wherever you started ROOT? If it doesn't, does .! type HelloWorld.C
show the content of the file?

Cheers, Axel.
