Hi,
I'm having trouble importing some .ace files which I created from
scratch. The problem is probably my own lack of clues about ACEDB
syntax. Here's what I've got (this is not genetic data, BTW):
---- added to wspec/models.wrm: ---------
?Action Name UNIQUE Text
?Cycle CycleAction Action
---- added to wspec/options.wrm: --------
_VAction -V -CaseSensitive
_VCycle -V -CaseSensitive
----------------- (end) -----------------
These models seem to import just fine, no syntax errors. I should mention
that I'm not really using the "Name" tag of the Action class, because each
object has a name anyway (I'll get rid of that tag eventually, unless it
turns out that I need it).
The first .ace file I am importing is a list of "Action" objects. The
beginning looks like this:
---- head -7 actions.ace ----------------
Action CLEAN
Action DNEG1
Action DNEG2
Action DSFEED
-----------------------------------------
It goes on like that with different names and no repetition (I piped the
names through a sort -u when I was generating the file).
The trouble comes when I try to import some Cycle objects. I get syntax
errors right away. Here's the first object:
---- head -6 cycles.ace -----------------
Cycle 9-41
CycleAction SPOON
CycleAction EXT
CycleAction OPEN
CycleAction FEED
CycleAction END
-----------------------------------------
ACEDB seems happy enough with the fist line, but the second line gives me
this error:
ERROR: parse error near line 2 in 9-41: Unknown tag "SPOON"
This is ocnfusing, because what I thought I was doing is including an
Action object in the Cycle object. "CycleAction" is meant to be a tag,
while "SPOON", "EXT", "OPEN", etc. are meant to be names of objects, not
tags.
Can anyone explain to me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
