Subject: STOP ERROR reading file header
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 14:35:46 +0100




Dear All, I am doing calculations for the band structure of bilayer graphene in the presence of an electric field. I reached the stage where the .DAT file was produced. However when i executed the plotband.x common using /espresso-4.2/bin/plotband.x  and input"ed" the .DAT I got the error:
 
STOP ERROR reading file header.
 
When I checked the .DAT file I realized that the header is strange as it contains four stars (****) and looked like that:
 

&plot nbnd=  12, nks=**** /

I tried to re-execute the bands.x command several times but in vain as the 4 stars re-appeared everytime. Does anyone know why is this occuring and how to treat it?
 
Thanks
