Hi,

I am facing trouble in running a file in cygwin in my 64 bit windows.

my problem is, i am trying to run a text file, where it is commanded that, first it will run a file and will create a output file, then this output file will work as a input file for another calculation and will create the result file.but the first output file, it is creating have a dot in the extension. that's why it is not being accepted as the input file for second run. My question is, why this dot is appearing in the file extension and how this can be solved.

Kind Regards;

you gave no usable info, therefore we cannot give you usable answer. What kind of text file did you run? Where is it from? Why don't you just rename that first output file?

Actually i am doing the modelling of a pipe in a software, name USAP, i will do some parametric study, that is, i will change some parameter and will see the effect, that is what commanded in the text file.

The text file has no extension. it is just "File" type. The command given in this text file is such that, it will take a input file of the software i am using, then change some parameter as commanded and will give output as a file which has the extension according to the software i am using. Then dot is appearing in the extension of output file like it should be "sharif.uif" but it is coming "sharif.uif."

i would assume this is windows related since windows is very nitpicky with the suffixes of filenames.

kinda' like you can change a .xls to an .mp3 and it magically transforms into a music file.


would you be able to post some code around how this file gets generated (possible typo) ?

there is a command file <filename> to identify the type of the file. So you can check the real type of that command by that. Also you can try the switches -h -? --help to get help about the usage.

can i have your email address. i want to show you the file but i am not being able to attach the file here.

no, sorry, that is against the rules I think. From the other hand you may get much better support here. So please post your file here (at least the first few lines) - if you want to do so.

File is not uploading here, so i am pasting it here;

it looks like a shell script but it uses a lot of other sripts/apps. I do not know if it was delivered with USAP or not. How is responsible for that script?
I can only suggest you to ask him (or the support) to fix this problem or write a small script to execute this script and rename the output file (remove that dot) and also execute the second part.

i dont see sharif.uif in the code excerpt above ?

I thought that the uif format died out back in 1995

unless it is the old magic-disk image format

is this the software ???

if so it is WINDOWS software
and not linux that might run in cygwin

now
MinGW WOULD be able to run a windows exe from a LINUX shell script
