Thanks for your response

I have not rerouted outputs anywhere else, and have not created a path argument to do this. Just in case this happened without my knowing I searched all my drives for an .edat2 file, but there are none for this script.  Your earlier message implied that I am not getting an error message, but my initial message pointed out that I am, at the end of the experiment. It takes the form:

"Error occurred reading text file - unexpected end of file"

and gives a line number, which is the final line in the .txt file (which reads "*** LogFrame End ***") and the error number 10

Hi

I have still not been able to find a solution to this problem. If it helps anyone in diagnosing what is going on, note that the .txt file ends with Level 2 information, i.e. it is missing the Level 1 information that I find at the end of other .txt output files which have successfully converted to .edat files.

Does that help locate the problem?

Try ruling out background apps as outlined in KB2621 - INFO: How to use MSCONFIG to troubleshoot machine configuration and reduce background applications and then if the problem persists add your es and txt files to a web support ticket for further diagnosis.

Don't know if this will apply in this case, but I just wrote an experiment that had problems with the final .edat file conversion in some cases. Turned out that I was using "Exit Sub" at one point in an inline script. That would mean that the Proc would end without doing the usual c.Log, and the resulting .txt file would have data for, say, Level 3, but be missing data for the enclosing Level 2.

In this case, the fix was either to add a c.Log before the Exit Sub, use a Goto (the end of the Proc) instead of an Exit Sub, or remove the Exit Sub and let the Proc end normally.

Thanks Brandon and David for your suggestions. Neither worked in my case. I have submitted the .es2 and .txt files to web support

In case anyone is following this and wants to know what the solution was: it turns out that LogData for the RootProc was set to "No" and needed to be set to "Yes". This is a problem that my routine inherited from the source on which it was based, i.e. Paul Groot's masked reading script in the STEP collection at CMU.

Thanks

My experimental program is also having this problem-- the text file is created, but not the edat file. I'm getting an error message #79 saying, "Reading txt file- variable name is same as level name", but it doesn't give any more information than that. Also, the txt file contains only the results from the first block, not the second, third or fourth.

"Reading txt file- variable name is same as level name" means that some object, column, attribute, or log level name (experiment object data file tab) is duplicated.  For example, you can't call a List object Trial.  Or you can't have a column called Trial since this maps to one of the log level names in exp object data file tab.  Review those areas and you are likely to find a match.

I don't think I am having duplication. Can anyone please look at my code and help me? Thanks!
