How to convert new trace file format to old format (ns2.34)

cai · 05-27-2017, 04:03 PM

Hi, greetings everyone.
I've got sample ns2 codes for cognitive radio from http://wpage.unina.it/arafatur.rahman/D2CARP.html. I use ns2.34 in Fedora 20. I've modified it and try to analyse the trace file using tracegraph202. But I got error saying "cannot open the file. new trace file format detected". So, I make line 221 a comment because line 221 is "$ns use-newtrace ". So i rerun the tcl script and got new trace file but the tracegraph still can't analayse it. I've tried running other sample codes with old trace file format and my tracegraph can analyse it. Is there any other way to convert the new trace file format to the old one? I've attached together the modified tcl script with this post. Thank you in advance for your time

I'm sorry I didn't know that I can't attach .tcl file here. I've converted it to txt file. Below is my tcl file in txt format. Thank you for your advice. Can anyone help me with my problem?

Please edit post #2 to use CODE Tags

I.e. [code]code text[/code]
.. or use the " # " button in the Advanced Editor : Go Advanced.
.. Replace with your formatted code.

Thank you for your concern

and sorry for my carelessness. Can you help me with my problem regarding the trace file format?

OK, nice hiding to conceal it's about a tcl file.
The suggestion has always been to preserve the .tcl suffix : ni.tcl.txt .
But anyway, the file works. (Your buggy text once in post #2 didn't.)

? Which trace file(s) is to be run with tracegraph202 ?

Code:

$ ns234-D2CARP ni.tcl

... creates three trace files (and a nam trace) :
ns.tr 320MB, primaryUsers.tr 566kB, scenario.tr 59kB
... I doubt that tracegraph202 can chew a 300MB file.

Thank you for your answer. I tried to analyse ns.tr. I've recompile the tcl script and my ns.tr only 144.7 MB. My tracegraph still can't read it. Do you have any other tips ? Thanks
