sr2sieve question

[SaneMur]

Hello,

I am trying to use sr2sieve to continue sieving several different constant, base, and exponents all in one file. It looks like it supports this if your ABCD format is specified correctly. The sample in the ReadMe file gives this as an example for the type of numbers I was testing:

Example: An ABCD file for the terms 254*5^76-1, 254*5^162-1, 254*5^186-1:

  ABCD 254*5^$a-1 [76] // Sieved to 6703249519 with srsieve
  86
  24

The "//" line is optional.

I have this in my file:

ABCD 2584*377^$a-1 [89]
288
610
ABCD 4181*46368^$a-1 [987]
9959
185472

and it doesn't like line 4.

Any ideas how this is messing up?

Thanks in advance.

sr2sieve can only sieve the same base in the same file.

What your file said to do is sieve base=377 and base =46368.

OK thanks. It was driving me crazy! The examples in the READ ME file were so close together, it looked like one continuation with different bases.
