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:<BR> <BR>STOP ERROR reading file header.<BR> <BR>When I checked the .DAT file I realized that the header is strange as it contains four stars (****) and looked like that:<BR> <BR>
