could not open file

[gookki]

I used "ReadSMDFile.tcl" to get ---.g3 file from the PEER Strong Motion Database (http://peer.berkeley.edu/smcat/) record ---.at2 file


When the main code is executed, the interpretation returns with the warning, and the warning appears as follows.

################################################

Cannot open ../GMfiles/H-E01140.at2 for reading

And the ----.g3 file is not created in the GM files path.

Is it right ---.g3 file not appear in the form of a file and interpretation proceed?


here is the "ReadSMDFile.tcl" code

###################################

# ReadSMDFile $inFilename $outFilename $dt #

# read gm input format
#
# Written: MHS
# Date: July 2000
#
# A procedure which parses a ground motion record from the PEER
# strong motion database by finding dt in the record header, then
# echoing data values to the output file.
#
# Formal arguments
# inFilename -- file which contains PEER strong motion record
# outFilename -- file to be written in format G3 can read
# dt -- time step determined from file header
#
# Assumptions
# The header in the PEER record is, e.g., formatted as follows:
# PACIFIC ENGINEERING AND ANALYSIS STRONG-MOTION DATA
# IMPERIAL VALLEY 10/15/79 2319, EL CENTRO ARRAY 6, 230
# ACCELERATION TIME HISTORY IN UNITS OF G
# NPTS= 3930, DT= .00500 SEC
set GMdir "../GMfiles";
set inFile $GMdir/H-E01140.at2;
set outFile $GMdir/H-E01140.g3;
proc ReadSMDFile {inFilename outFilename dt} {
# read gm input format

# Pass dt by reference
upvar $dt DT

# Open the input file and catch the error if it can't be read
if [catch {open $inFilename r} inFileID] {
puts stderr "Cannot open $inFilename for reading"
} else {
# Open output file for writing
set outFileID [open $outFilename w]

# Flag indicating dt is found and that ground motion
# values should be read -- ASSUMES dt is on last line
# of header!!!
set flag 0

# Look at each line in the file
foreach line [split [read $inFileID] \n] {

if {[llength $line] == 0} {
# Blank line --> do nothing
continue
} elseif {$flag == 1} {
# Echo ground motion values to output file
puts $outFileID $line
} else {
# Search header lines for dt
foreach word [split $line] {
# Read in the time step
if {$flag == 1} {
set DT $word
break
}
# Find the desired token and set the flag
if {[string match $word "DT="] == 1} {set flag 1}
}
}
}

# Close the output file
close $outFileID

# Close the input file
close $inFileID
}
}; #

How do I proceed to resolve this warning?

The graph looks very strange in the beginning when the main code is interpreted. I don't know if this is related to this problem. If it's related, I'm going to ask additional questions later.

It may be that you don't have the at2 ground motion file in the correct folder.
