[Radiance-general] Genskyvec.pl error on Windows (was: Re: Python script)

[Greg Ward]

Hi Rob,

I can't test it for you, but I suspect the line:

	} elsif (/\sskyfunc\s*$/) {

is the problem.  Try removing the final '\s*' to make it:

	} elsif (/\sskyfunc$/) {

and see if that works.  It works on Unix, so if it solves the problem, I should check it in.  I don't know why it would be an issue, but I can't see what else could be failing.

-Greg
