[Difx-users] RULE and SETUP section name issue

[Jan Wagner]

Hi, ran into a bizarre issue 'vex2difx' in DiFX trunk and 2.5.1.
Perhaps someone can reproduce this?

When the SETUP and RULE sections have identical names then the rule
gets ignored. For example:

singleScan = True
SETUP default {
   tInt =  1.0
   specRes = 0.015625
}
RULE default {
  setup = default
  scan = No0364
}

The above rule ought to select only scan No0364. Yet 'vex2difx'
produces .input files for all scans. When on the other hand the
SETUP section is given a unique name, e.g.,

singleScan = True
SETUP defaultSetup {
   tInt =  1.0
   specRes = 0.015625
}
RULE default {
  setup = defaultSetup
  scan = No0364
}

With the above, 'vex2difx' now produces the desired single .input
file that processes the desired scan No0364.

Could there be a section name lookup issue in vex2difx...?
