Dear DICe Developers,

I have encountered an issue while using the Digital Image Correlation Engine (DICe) software and I am seeking your assistance in resolving this problem.

When I attempt to run a correlation analysis, I receive the following error message in the console output:

Digital Image Correlation Engine (DICe) v2.0 git: v2.0-beta.16 MPI: disabled Manycore: disabled Data type: double Copyright 2015 National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC (NTESS) Report bugs and feature requests as issues at https://github.com/dicengine/dice

C:\Users\dzturne\Software\trilinos\packages\teuchos\parameterlist\src\Teuchos_XMLParser.cpp:538:

Throw number = 1

Throw test that evaluated to true: 1

XML parse error at line 12: reference not well-formed: expected name or '#' This error seems to be related to the input.xml file, specifically at line 12. I have already attempted to resolve the issue by modifying the file path to use double backslashes ('\') instead of single backslashes (''), but the error persists.

Here is the content of line 12 from the input.xml file:

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve this error so that I can continue using DICe for my project. If you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards,

Ahmad

Are you able to post the content of your xml file? You state "Here is the content of line 12" but didn't include line 12 (unless it's empty)

One possibility is that your file paths have non ASCII characters in them like symbols or accented characters
