    Why would only the first line of my data set txt file work?

      Hi -

      I had a lot of success using variables and external data sets until today.

       

      I have an external text file that I have imported as a data set (Image/Variables/Data Sets/Import...).  All of the variables have been defined and confirmed (at least PSD hasn't told me it can't find something which is the typical error msg.)

       

      This external text file, with the extension ".txt" has 12 lines on it, each line is 7 comma separated values, and each line is ending in a carriage return.

       

      YESTERDAY when I used File/Export/Export Data Set as Files... the procedure went beautifully for the 8 times I used it.  TODAY I only get the first of the 12 lines completed and then the export stops.  There are no error messages or other signs that Photoshop has choked on something so I guess something is wrong with my text file... BUT WHAT??

       

      Any insight on any step in this would be helpful.  You all know that if I'm using this feature it's because I have TONS of repetition ahead of me if it doesn't work.

       

      TIA your expertise,

      JL
