Java issue

[arnodelorme]

We get the following error in the EEGLAB command line window:

[Fatal Error] 👎-1: Premature end of file.
MFFRootDoc: error: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; Premature end of file.
Make sure you call this function with the full MFF ressource path name ******

Followed up with Fiona. We will see if she responds.

What was the solution to this problem?
I am getting the same error code

[Bysmuth]

Just encountered this problem with two files (using MFFMatlabIO v. 3.6; n.b. this is no longer the current version). In both cases it was due to the existence of an empty (0 bytes) "Events_User_Events.xml" within the .mff container file. Deleting that empty .xml file fixed the problem.

I can provide a sample data file and/or retest with the most current version if it is useful.

[arnodelorme]

Yes, please provide a data file for testing purposes. Thank you.

I've uploaded a sample data file here. You can produce the error by calling pop_mffimport and selecting the unzipped .mff file. On a Mac, the error can be resolved by right-clicking on the file in the Finder, clicking Show Package Contents, and deleting Events_User_Events.xml (which is zero bytes), then re-importing.

Would you mind posting the data file again?

[Bysmuth]

Sure! I just made it accessible again at the same URL I linked to above.

Thank you.

Problem fixed. There was an empty event file. Now, these files are detected and skipped.
