param scan output

[Kentarou Mawatari]

Hi Olivier,

I'm using the scan command in param_card, but always got the error message in the last step to get an output file for the scanned results. The debug file shows:

generate_events wo_cut_scan
generate_events -f
generate_events -f
generate_events -f
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/mawatari/work/tools/mg5/MG5_aMC_v2_3_3/madgraph/interface/extended_cmd.py", line 908, in onecmd
    return self.onecmd_orig(line, **opt)
  File "/Users/mawatari/work/tools/mg5/MG5_aMC_v2_3_3/madgraph/interface/extended_cmd.py", line 897, in onecmd_orig
    return func(arg, **opt)
  File "/Users/mawatari/work/tools/mg5/MG5_aMC_v2_3_3/madgraph/interface/madevent_interface.py", line 2042, in do_generate_events
    name = misc.get_scan_name(orig_name, self.run_name)
  File "/Users/mawatari/work/tools/mg5/MG5_aMC_v2_3_3/madgraph/various/misc.py", line 332, in get_scan_name
    while base[-1].isdigit():
IndexError: list index out of range

I tried several run names, but this didn't help...

thanks,
Kentarou

This seems to happen when we specify the run name, e.g. 'launch -n mtop'. Kentarou

Here is a patch.

Thanks,
