Hi there,

I'm trying to export as text files a lot of reduced 1d spectra distributed in different folders using wspectext with list files for input and output containing the full path of the fits and txt files

It works well with reading this list files, but say that the line are too long for the output file and will be truncated, so finally didn't export anything as the output files are not correct. Here is the example of the output list file:



The input one is the same with .fits for extensions.

Any idea how to solve that problem?

WSPECTEXT is a script task that creates an intermediate list file containing both the input and output names along with the image dimensions, one per row. With you path names, this line length is exceeding the size of a CL script string variable and causing the problem. You can workaround it by either working from the same directory as the files themselves and leaving off the pathname, or else use a logical path, e.g.

cl\$this->_split2($m[0]) set data = "/Users/gbb/Observations/SpecPol/VLT/FORS/SCIENCE/2015-04-07_Honoria/S2_1x1q/"

where the trailing '/' is required, and then in the lists use names like "data$mapped_all_sci_mos0.0001.txt"

Thanks a lot! It works perfect for me!

By the way, the list I quoted is only part of my list file. My original list file contains a lot more files and they are distributed in different folders, so the idea was to extract all the reduced spectra in one go (they were also reduced in the same way with big list files with full path, but it works in "apall")

Cheers!
