0012053: Cannot coerce hscth reader for hscth file that is does not match naming convention
The hscth reader is invoked for files ending ".hscth". It turns out that "hsct?" should also be matched, where "?" is a wildcard for a single character. The first minor bug fix is to match this second pattern for hscth files.

The second, more serious, issue is that when I selected the file to open and then specifically selected to use the hscth reader to open it, I got a failure with an error message referring to the visit silo reader. In the end, I could not open the file until I renamed it to end with ".hscth".
No tags attached.

Greg,

What OS are you currently have the Silo error on? I have been unable to replicate it on Windows7 with ParaView 3.10.1

This was on the 3.10.0 build at Sandia (redsky and lan).

I'll see if he has built 3.10.1 yet, and try to replicate if he has.

OK, replicated the problem on a Sandia lan (linux) build for 3.10.1. Get the same error referring to the VisIt Silo Reader.

Also, it turns out we paraview should match "hstc*" since when CTH restarts are files are automatically renamed hscth_a, hscth_b, ...

Thanks for the information. I will try to replicate on Linux.

Tried to replicate on my Ubuntu 10.10 machine with 3.10.1 and did not get a Silo error when loading a hstch file named test.hstcha.

Sorry, I didn't describe the problem clearly. Make a symlink from test.hscta to hscta, and read the hscta file in paraview. The reader won't be selected automatically. Try to select the file and the spy hscth reader. This causes paraview to crash on linux.

Commit:
Merge topic '12053-spcth-extension'

768609f Added support to spy plot history reader for wildcard file matching.

I am unable to replicate the issue with the sym linked file. The above commit fixes the wildcard matching. If the sym link issue continues to happen please create a new bug please.

Tested Windows and Linux, trunk, local server. I used the ceesrv01 server, with paraview_3.12.0_junk on 7/19/2011. No problems seen.
