Hi folks,
A couple of times now i've run into a strange problem that i haven't
had time to pay much attention to until now. I'm simply trying to
read a tiff file with READ_TIFF, but this code fails:
indir = 'g:\'
infile = 'test.tif'
inpath = indir + infile
;cd,indir
indata=read_tiff(infile)
help, indata
It fails with a file not found error even though I know that the file
is in the location i'm specifying. Also, the error message prints out
the full path to the file it's looking for, and it is looking for the
correct file name, but the directory path it's looking in is always
the current working directory. So, if i uncomment the call to the CD
command above, the file gets read with no problem. Has anyone else
come across this? This isn't the way it's supposed to work is it?
Jeff

Something like that. You'll also get a mention in
the IEPA gala printed program, although not everyone
is delighted to be listed under the Boneheaded Blunders
banner. On the other hand, very few people will
actually be sober enough to read it, so I think
you are safe. :-)
Cheers,
David
