Hi All,

We’ve had a strange problem with objview which I’m not sure if it’s been discussed before (Radiance 5.1a in OSX 10.11.6).

When the rad model file name includes a command line option (e.g. “this-Name.rad” includes “-N”) then the script hangs as it cannot find its parameter.

Looking in objview, it seems the problem is in the lines like:

if (m/-g/)
elsif (m/-u/)
…

Replacing with:

if (m/\b-g\b/)

seems to have solved the problem.

Regards,
Santiago

Thanks, Santiago. I hadn't noticed this problem before. I checked in a version that should fix it, using a variant on your suggestion.

Cheers,
