What in the bloody hell did the EU Validator do?????

[unmerged(3021)]

I had a scenario (discussed in another thread on this forum), that I used the EU validator on.

I went into DOS, ran the program etc. etc.

Now, all the .inc file has is:

"

EUROPA UNIVERSALIS VALIDATOR v0.91
(c)2001 Henrik Fahraeus
---------------------------------

Arguments:
ids - Show free id ranges.
monarchs - Lists all monarchs.
leaders - Lists all leaders.
val - Validate leader and monarch ids.

Direct output to a file using '>'. E.g: EuCheck > log.txt
"

Where in the bloody hell did my .inc file go????????

Any help greatly appreciated!

Oh well, I just rebuilt the thing. Not too much of a problem, but I would still like to why the Validator did that.

PS-Sorry about the language, I was just a wee bit mad.

You just don't know how to use it correctly. If you redirect output to a file it will be overwritten. So, if you type:

"EuCheck val > DB\1492_IGC.inc"

it will destroy that file.

FYI the operator ">" means "redirect", and is a staple of both Unix and DOS.

The correct way to use EuCheck is to type for example:

"EuCheck val > log.txt"

It will then go through all of your .inc files and redirect its output to a log file where you can read what it did.
