I can't seem to be able to run the 'fields' task without it asking me to input the 'Fields to extract'.

This happens even with mode='h'.

Example:

ecl\$this->_split2($m[0]) fields.mode='h'
ecl\$this->_split2($m[0]) fields.fields='1,2'
ecl\$this->_split2($m[0]) fields.lines='1'
ecl\$this->_split2($m[0]) fields.files='test.dat'

when I run the task:

ecl\$this->_split2($m[0]) fields

I get:

ecl\$this->_split2($m[0]) Fields to extract (1,2):
aaa bbb

Why is it not working silently?


The 'test.dat' file I'm using contains this:

aaa bbb ccc
123 456 45
789 654 66

The 'fields' parameter is a query parameter so you need to change the mode of that one parameter, not just the entire task. For example,

cl\$this->_split2($m[0]) field.fields.p_mode = "h"

will do what you want.
