| Summary | 0003959: foamDictionary cannot set entries in wildcarded subDicts | ||||
| Description | I have a fvSolution Dict containing a definition for both PISO and PIMPLE solvers: "(PIMPLE|PISO)" { transonic no; nOuterCorrectors 1; nCorrectors 2; nNonOrthogonalCorrectors 0; momentumPredictor yes; } When querying any entry in this subDict using foamDictionary I get the correct result, e.g.: foamDictionary system/fvSolution -entry PIMPLE/transonic --> transonic no; Trying to change an entry using set yields and error: foamDictionary system/fvSolution -entry PIMPLE/transonic -set no --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: keyword PIMPLE is undefined in dictionary "system/fvSolution" or is not a dictionary Valid keywords are 4 ( FoamFile #include solvers relaxationFactors ) file: system/fvSolution from line 10 to line 38. From function const Foam::dictionary& Foam::dictionary::scopedDict(const Foam::word&) const in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 1093. FOAM exiting Is this intended behavior or should foamDictionary be able to understand wildcards? ---- On another note: I noticed that the dot access for subDicts seems to be no longer supported. At least, the call foamDictionarysystem/fvSolution -entry PIMPLE.transonic -set no --> New entry PIMPLE.transonic no; results in a new entry in the dict, no access into a subDict. From other issues that I found, I assume that this is actually intended behavior. However, a clear error message on this usage might help during migration. | ||||

Try: foamDictionary system/fvSolution -entry '(PIMPLE|PISO)/transonic' -set no It works for me in OpenFOAM-dev and OpenFOAM-10 |
|

confirmed. foamDictionary system/fvSolution -entry '(PIMPLE|PISO)/transonic' -set no foamDictionary system/fvSolution -entry "(PIMPLE|PISO)/transonic" -set no foamDictionary system/fvSolution -entry '(PIMPLE|PISO)'/transonic -set no all work fine. Thanks! I tried something like foamDictionary system/fvSolution -entry \"\(PIMPLE\|PISO\)\"/transonic -set no which does fail with keyword "(PIMPLE|PISO)" is undefined in dictionary |
