How to run CreateMising in linux

[avvy65]

As per the subject, how do I run CreateMissing.exe in linux. Do I use mono, ie sudo mono CreateMissing.exe?
I want to use it because I have a few missing dates in my dayfile

Yep, if you are running Cumulus v3 you use mono, with v4 swap it to dotnet.

Oops, I should have said I was running CumulusMX v4

Just tried sudo dotnet CreateMissing.exe
and it returned
Unhandled exception . System.BadImageFormatException: Bad IL format of the file '/home/rob/CumulusMX/CreateMissing.exe

Using sudo mono with v3 starts the process but then produces an error because the date is out of order with dayfile.txt

Sorry, on Linux the dotnet commands should all reference the <name>.dll rather than .exe
So
> dotnet CreateMissing.dll

The .exe's are Windows only.

Ok, I forgot it should be the dll file, doh!

Using :
sudo dotnet CreateMissing.dll
returns:
Error: date is out of order at line 654 in the dayfile.txt
On investigation, there was a an out of order line, so I corrected that, then ran the command again.

This time it ran but after a minute or so, it returned
Error at line 35151 field 9 of /path//data/202204log.txt Index was out of range. Must be non negative and less than the size of the collection (Parameter 'index') Please edit the file to correct the error.

When I try to open the said file , there is a white progress bar moving across the top of the edit / text window, as it loads the file, but it stalls very near the end and I can't edit the file.
There are 1133 pages in LO writer, and I don't know what I'm looking for as I can't see any non- negative entries, and what is the 'size of the collection'

Thanks

Zip up and post the log file and I'll take a look.

The last line is corrupt...

Thanks, I didn't know that, nor how it happened, but I saw many lines like that when I opened the said file in LO writer, and didn't know what it meant.

I ran CreateMissing again , and this time , no errors as such, but of 2117 records in the dayfile.txt, 18 were OK, 37 were Added
and 1200 were updated.
Then No Data 862 - please check log file for errors.

That could be for a few different reasons, like hardware failure, system repairs etc etc. If my Davies Vue station didn't have the records then they would be missing, as well as going back a year or more.
