Hey all,

I am having a rather odd problem with my program. At one point the the program runs a few other scripts in succession, but for some reason, in certain data sets it will only run the first of these scripts and skip the rest. However, when the skipping happens, I can copy all the script calls into the terminal and they will all work.

I am hoping someone might have an idea as to why this might be happening.

Thank you

Because there's a data dependency in the top-level script, perhaps???

The is the most crystal-requiring question in quite a while and mine is,
yet again, out of commission... :(

Give us at least a few bread crumbs to try to follow a trail to rescue
H&G from the oven...

not without at least some useful information, ie, a piece of ML code...

How can you tell it's skipping the other scripts? Are errors coming up? Are you using the profiler or debugger? Are you certain the first script finished running? Is there any possibility that the first script changed the current directory so that the next scripts couldn't be found?

There are lots of possibilities here. You need to provide much more information.

Sorry, I should have included this information before.

Here is the code:

CentroidLine; %this script always runs
PAX; % but the ones after it are sometimes skipped.
BSR;

The fact that these all work when called seperately in the terminal lead me to believe that it is not a problem with scripts themselves.

I can tell the first script completes by the output files that it produces. It does not change the directory, so that is not an issue. Furthermore, no errors come up when the program skips to the next data set.

Another thing that I forgot to mention was that when I set up break points and actually step into the second script, the program will run properly.
