Line too long in G__exec_statement when processing

ROOT
1

Hi all,

I am using a txt file to plot energy 1 -v- energy 2 (TTree), I get the following error

Error: Line too long in G__exec_statement when processing compton.txt:153:
*** Interpreter error recovered ***

It has 23000 lines and 2 columns.

Can anyone advise me as how to overcome this error?

Thanks in advance, Chloe

Have a close look at the line 153 (and ±2 lines) in your “compton.txt” file.
BTW. How exactly did you get this error? From your description, the “compton.txt” file seems to be a “data file”. It’s not a ROOT macro, hence you should not get this error all, unless you tried to “load” or “execute” it, doing something like “root [0] .L compton.txt” or “root [0] .x compton.txt”.

There is nothing unusual there!

So, what exactly did you do?

Yes I was running the file wrong, sorry! Still getting the hang of ROOT.
