Expands shorthand notation in eclipse file doesn't work!

[raincoder87]

Hi, As Petrel export eclipse file that mostly contains some shorthand notation (N*data ) in many block with the grdecl file. I am trying to use the function processData that was provided in ecilpse reader for expansion, but it doesn't work well. Can you provide more explantion about this point. if you would like, I can share some of the grdecl file. Thanks so much for helping to figure this issue out.

There isn't a test for this (I will need to add one), but if I modify one of the tests like so

and run ./em2ex filename.grdecl it works as expected. All of the N*V properties expand as expected.

Can you post a short example of it not working?

[cpgr]

I added a test (test/eclipse/simple_cube_shorthand.grdecl) that has a lot of shorthand notation and confirmed that it gives the same exodus grid as test/eclipse/simple_cube.grdecl.

More generally, the function processData takes a string representing a single line from the eclipse file, and expands that string into a list of strings like so:

sample = '1 5*2 3 2*6 7'
expanded = processData(sample)
print(sample)
print(expanded)

which results in

1 5*2 3 2*6 7
['1', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '3', '6', '6', '7']

ie, a 1, five 2's, a 3, two 6's and a 7, as expected

It seems that I used to use an old script. it works now, thanks so much

No worries. I'll close this issue then
