problem with file path

[jessdtate]

there seems to be a problem with some paths. I wasn't able to load files from this path: /Users/jess/Edgar/database/Unmodified/Human_Cardiac_Mapping/KIT-20-PVC_Simulation_1906-10-30_EP_EndoEpi/Meshes/surf_endoepi.mat or a similar path. When I moved the file to somewhere else, It read no problem. The error I get is:

Reading geom file urf_endoepi.mat.mat, surface# 1
Could not open matlab file
MAP3D WARNING: Unable to read geometry file "urf_endoepi.mat.mat".

I attached the file I was trying to load.

surf_endoepi.mat.zip

when I changed the path to /Users/jess/Edgar/database/Unmodified/Human_Cardiac_Mapping/KIT-1/Meshes/surf_endoepi.mat it worked

That is completely weird. Also note that it omitted the first character of the filename. I seem to remember some code that once was there about how it would try to append .mat, .pot to filenames it can't find... Searching...

This seems to be related to the length of the path. Is there a set length of this? @bzenger will test the lengths and report.

preliminary test.

This works :
/Users/jess/Downloads/test_filename/this_is_a_long_file_name_to_test_another_long_filename/abc/morphed_sock.mat

but not this:
/Users/jess/Downloads/test_filename/this_is_a_long_file_name_to_test_another_long_filename/abcd/morphed_sock.mat

The first is 111 characters, and the second is 112
