Caltech file loader fails on SAM file with extra preamble line #354

Open pont-us opened 3 years ago

pont-us commented 3 years ago

PuffinPlot fails to load the attached Caltech files via the included .sam file with the error ‘0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 (No such file or directory)’. It seems to be attempting to interpret the third line (a list of orientations etc.) as a CIT filename. I believe that this is due to the extra first line, as described here: ‘The first line is a 2003 addition specifying the data format and is either CIT, 2G, APP, or JRA. If absent, the data is assumed to be in CIT format.’ PuffinPlot should check for the presence of this line
