Member Function Documentation

TFile * OutputConvention::getFile ( TString  fileNameWithWildcards )

static

Opens a TFile matching a fileName with wildcards. If multiple matches gets the "greatest" TString, which hopefully corresponds to the file with the latest date suffix.

Parameters

fileNameWithWildcards

is the name of the file (with wildcards) that you wish to open.

Returns

NULL if no matches, the opened file if there is a match.

Sorts all matching files into increasing order of fileName. If the files have my standard date suffix attached to them, then this should correspond to the most recent file.

TString OutputConvention::getOutputFileName

(

TString

ext = ""

)

Get the name of the output file from the program name (and system time).

Parameters

ext	is an optional parameter file extension you want (e.g. .txt, .root, .csv), if none is given then .root is used.

Returns

the output file name
