SamUL: question on ReadWF()

Hello,

I came across a strange problem while trying to read weather files.

In the following script if you comment the line " outln(data) "
the variable lineCounter holds a different value.

I am not sure why this happens, I attached a litte example.
If the data is not shown during reading,
lineCounter has a value of 8774, if the data is shown
the value is 8760, which is correct...

Any ideas on this?

Kind regards,
Joe.

----

file = SAMDir() + "/exelib/climate_files/AUS_NT.Alice.Springs.Airport_RMY.epw"

declare header[]
declare data[]

f = OpenWF(file, header)

if (not f)
OutLn("could not open file")
exit
end

lineCounter = 0

while(readwf(f,data))
lineCounter = lineCounter + 1
outln(data) 'un/comment this line
end

outln(lineCounter)

close(f)

Hi Joe,

I was able to replicate this behavior, and do not have a good explanation for it. We'll have to wait to resolve this until my colleague who developed SamUL returns from leave in a few weeks. Hopefully you can work around the issue in the meantime.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Best regards,
Paul.

Hi Paul,

any news on this one?

Kind regards,
Paul
