[Developers] Cannot run batch processing

[Bert Bril]

Hi all, Robin,

> 3) In the main OD console I get the message: Unmatched '.

This is typically a problem with the fact that Windows has spaces in
file names all around. The scripts that run batch programs are for a
large part dedicated to circumventing the problems with spaces.
Apparently, you hit yet another problem (one that we don't know of).

Weird. There are several tools to investigate such situations. First of
all, OpendTect has the DTECT_DEBUG environment variable to show all
kinds of things going on inside OpendTect (see also debugmasks.h).

In your case, stting 'DTECT_SCRIPT_VERBOSE' and 'DTECT_SCRIPT_DEBUG'
could be more effective. They show all kinds of stuff from within the
scripts.

Is this DTECT_SCRIPT_VERBOSE? In that case, I fear the program already
calls the script itself in a wrong way. The handling of these batch
programs is done in uiIo/uibatchprogs.cc, in
uiBatchProgLaunch::acceptOK(). If you debug that, you can print the
command it sends to Windows and check out what's wrong with it.


Best regards,
