Anything other than numbers in a series of numbers causes error in sequence editor
Posted: Fri May 13, 2022 12:35 am
Using SC Pro 4.0.89.49.0 on Windows 10. I find it very useful.
I have set up a script that runs through a set of coordinates to take images. I am using "Repeat for each RA/DEC co-ordinate in <filename>" I had been using this successfully. Last night, the script stopped working saying it can't understand the coordinates (Log from a Test Step below). I tried successfully with a known good coordinate file.
My expectation is that I can use any valid Windows filename character anywhere in the first field.
Any pattern that interrupts a series of numbers in the first field causes the error. The series of numbers can be anywhere in the first field. To recreate,
4x4
4-4
4 4
4p4
And it will result in the error below.
Now enter "Pane 44" in the first field in step 3 and it passes.
Error log:
Thanks.

Any pattern that interrupts a series of numbers in the first field causes the error. The series of numbers can be anywhere in the first field. To recreate,
- create a new script.
- Insert the "Repeat for each RA/DEC co-ordinate in <filename>" function into the script.
- Create a coordinate file and enter "pane 3x4,12 24 46 +13 02 18" in the first line.
- Select the coordinate file.
- Highlight the step and press Test Step.
