If it's important to you to be able to use wildcards instead of the actual file name, you can do it from any directory like this:
set dcmlist = (`cd $dcmroot; echo subj238/DTI/i*.MRDC.1`)

it works pnly if the directory that you run the trac-all command from, is the same as the directory that is specified by dcmroot. otherwise it fails.
we are running the trac-all command from /media/LGI/LGI
we fixed it by changing the dcmroot amd dcmlist
set dcmroot = media/LGI/LGI/ set dcmlist = (subj238/DTI/i*.MRDC.1)
it's able to read in the dicom's okay now

Jon - Thank you for your suggestion. However, the wiki is correct. The file names in dcmlist should be relative to the directory name in dcmroot.
The problem is that essentially you are doing this: set dcmlist = ( ) Because of how you're using the wildcard character *, you end up with an empty dcmlist. Nowhere does the wiki suggest that an empty dcmlist is ok.

You should change the wiki so that it says that the dcmlist is relative to the current working directory that the trac-all command is executed, not the dcmroot the trac-all program is source'ing the dmrirc config file in the currect working directory of the trac-all process. Jon

There is no * character in the example on the wiki. What do you think should change?

that makes perfect sense, but you should change the instructions in the Tracula wiki to reflect this. the tracula wiki says:
Step 5: Specify the location of diffusion DICOM files
set dcmroot = $TUTORIAL_DATA/diffusion_tutorial Use this variable to specify the directory under which the diffusion DICOM files for all subjects can be found.
Step 6: Specify the list of input DWIs

The file names are assumed be relative to the directory specified in dcmroot above.

It's the * and its interpretation by the unix shell that does this, so it has nothing to do with tracula.
When you run this command: set dcmlist = (i*.MRDC.1) you're telling unix to find all files that match this pattern and to make the dcmlist variable equal to the list of files. If it doesn't find any files like this (and it'll look in the current directory unless you specify the full path), then dcmlist will be empty.
When you run this command: set dcmlist = (i727056.MRDC.1) you're telling unix to make the dcmlist variable equal to the string i727056.MRDC.1, so it won't search to find any files.
Does this make sense?

The problem is that the command "set dcmlist = (i*.MRDC.1)" is executed as soon as it is read. So this will end up with an empty dcmlist, because there are no files named i*.MRDC.1 in the current directory.

so i*.MRDC.1 would specify only the file i727056.MRDC.1, the first dicom image

Hi Emily - You're using "*" to specify all the dicom files in the series. You should specify just one file.
BTW, do you have the latest version of freesurfer and the tutorials? This dmrirc looks like it might have been adapted from an older version of the tutorials. If so, I highly recommend downloading the latest version of everything.
Hope this helps, a.y

Hello,
I am running into the following error when I try to run trac-all:
set: No match. ERROR: must specify as many DWI dicoms as subjects
I have taken my script and examined it line by line and have made several attempts at debugging it.
I was wondering if you had any suggestions? Attached is my dmrirc_single_subject configuration.
I am brand new to freesurfer and tracula and would appreciate any guidance you can give me!
Thanks!
Emily

Hi Emily - The first version of tracula was in freesurfer 5.1. However, I would *highly* recommend using the newer version of tracula, now in 5.3, as it has improvements in both performance and speed.
The processing in trac-all is supposed to happen in parallel for each of the subjects included in the configuration file, if you run trac-all on a cluster. However, not all clusters have the same set-up, and you may have to make modifications for it to work on your cluster, with the help of your cluster admins. There should be previous questions on this in this list's email archives. Let me know if you have any other questions.
