Quick Pfgw errors Unsolved
 

To everyone who is using Pfgw, there are a few errors I spotted that I do not know how to solve. The first one is that I cannot make another "pfgw.out" file and mine is already several hundreds of lines long. The second is testing several numbers with thousands of digits long with "no description" will rack up the entire command window and more digits appearing hide numbers stated as 3-PRPs so I am unable to find them. I think they should be simplified such as: "824162153940.........384710232111+3376 is 3-PRP!" rather than the entire decimal expansion racking up the command window. I'll be out for the week, so I had to post all these now. :smile:

Use the -Cquiet option to suppress most of the output.

I believe, in actual version PFGW 3.7.10, pfgw can no more handle die character "|" in the ABC line.

I would need an example. I haven't changed any of that logic in years.

Okay.

Write in a txt-file

"ABC 10^999+$a | 10^999+$a+2
7
"

you get "ABC - Evaluator failed"


File: pfgw32.exe 38566912 Byte large.

Another Preview Version Output:

10^999+7 is 3-PRP! (0.031000 seconds)
10^999+7+2 is composite: [2B2E9E5C173C1F7C] (0.032000 seconds)

I'll look into it.

Found the bug.

program don't accept " " after character "|"

ABC .... c1|c2|c3 works
also work

ABC ... c1 |c2 |c3 |...

ABC c1| c2| c3 don't work but not relevant when we know it

I'm pretty certain I caused this when I added the code that could verify factors found by sieving programs, specifically factors of the form "x | y". I'll fix it and put out a new release.
