Hi Guifen,
Yes, Nicolas is right. I am running Gate v3.0.0 and thats the reason why your macro ran without any errors. It was not because of deletion of the exclamation marks, it ran without errors inspite of leaving them in .

Hi again
the error message is caused by the presence of the underscore character
"_" at the comments related to the GATE commands that specify ROOT and
ASCII output file.
These characters should be removed in order the simulation to run smoothly.
For example change the following section of the macro code:
# S E T U P - R O O T _ F I L E
/gate/output/root/setFileName YourPETSimu
/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesAdderFlag 1
/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesReadoutFlag 1
/gate/output/root/setRootHitFlag 1
/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesFlag 1
/gate/output/root/setRootNtupleFlag 1
/gate/output/root/setRootCoincidencesFlag 1
# S E T U P - A S C I I _ F I L E
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileSinglesAdderFlag 0
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileSinglesReadoutFlag 0
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileSinglesThresholderFlag 0
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileSinglesUpholderFlag 0
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileSinglesFlag 0
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileHitsFlag 0
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileCoincidencesFlag 0
into the following one:
# S E T U P - R O O T F I L E
/gate/output/root/setFileName YourPETSimu
/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesAdderFlag 1
/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesReadoutFlag 1
/gate/output/root/setRootHitFlag 1
/gate/output/root/setRootSinglesFlag 1
/gate/output/root/setRootNtupleFlag 1
/gate/output/root/setRootCoincidencesFlag 1
# S E T U P - A S C I I F I L E
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileSinglesAdderFlag 0
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileSinglesReadoutFlag 0
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileSinglesThresholderFlag 0
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileSinglesUpholderFlag 0
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileSinglesFlag 0
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileHitsFlag 0
/gate/output/ascii/setOutFileCoincidencesFlag 0
The presence of this character is frequent in several current example
macros of the latest GATE distributions.
You need to repeat the above correction every time you see this error
message.
This will be certainly corrected in the next release.
Bosky, just to clarify things, I do not believe that the exclamation
marks (!) have anything to do this with this error message.
After correcting the macro as above, the macros run without having to
remove the exclamation marks.
Guifen, I have attached the corrected version of your macro file.
Hope the source of this problem has been identified now.
Best regards
Nicolas
