Hi
following are the files that I am having problem.

The error is:

Looks like no histogram named “h” exists in your “f” file. Try: f->ls();

@Wile_E_Coyote
Where should I have to write it in the code or in the terminal? ( f->ls();)

You can also try the standalone tool: rootls -l your_file.root

@Wile_E_Coyote

I tried but following error is coming up
rootls -l 16O+100Mo@102MeV-2f-1.001.root
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/Downloads/MyRoot/bin/rootls”, line 10, in
import cmdLineUtils
ImportError: No module named cmdLineUtils

It seems you do not have “pyroot”.
Try:

root your_file.root -q -e 'gFile->ls();'

@Wile_E_Coyote

What Can I do to view the spectrums in these files?
I know that I can view the spectrums in TBrowser but for doing calibration my file [eff_1.C|attachment](https://root-forum.cern.ch/uploads/short-url/trhdcRigiNPJhFu3dbVBLzP11te.C) (is giving me the error that I have posted above)

You need to use a proper histogram’s name (there is no histogram named “h”, as you can see).

@Wile_E_Coyote
Thanks
I got the program running when I changed the histogram name from h to that which is in the root file.
