RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Input File Format

Perhaps you are running into the 500 character limit on the allowable
number of characters in a single line/record.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Input File Format

 

Hello all,

I'm developing a program that outputs an idf file with each object on a
single line (no comments).
Now if i try to simulate this file as is energyPlus will crash. However,
if
i open the file in IDFEditor and then resave it without changing
anything
the reformatted version will simulate perfectly. Can someone explain
this to
me as i thought that if each object was properly comma seperated then it
should run? I have included a sample portion of my output file below.

Thanks for your help,
Barry O'Sullivan
