importRTF causes EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION, any idea?

Hello World,

I have found an interesting problem! I am trying to import a rtf file which contains some simple text (please see the attached file) and a picture using the following code BUT sometimes got the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error.

Could anyone please tell me, why is it happening? Even I am getting error with the standard rtf importer!

DXL Code:

string strRtfDocName = "C:\\testWithPicture.rtf"
Module theModule = null
string sModuleFullName = "/TestData/TestModule"
//Create a new module
string strErrRes = create(sModuleFullName, "", "", 1, theModule)
if(strErrRes == "")
{
print "Module is created \n"

if (importRTF(strRtfDocName, theModule, false, false) == 0)
{
print "Rtf imported \n"
}
else
{
print "Not imported \n"
}
}
else
{
print "Module is not created \n"
}

Thanks,
Rony

I don't have DOORS 8.3 installed, but once I create the /TestData folder and copy your rtf file to "C:\testWithPicture.rtf", the following works for me in both DOORS 8.1.0.8 (build 81119) and DOORS 9.1.0.2 (build 91132):
 

string strRtfDocName = "C:\\testWithPicture.rtf"
Module theModule = null
string sModuleFullName = "/TestData/TestModule"
 
//Create a new module
string strErrRes = create(sModuleFullName, "", "", 1, theModule)
if(strErrRes == "")
{
    print "Module is created \n"
 
    //Make sure the just created module is 'current'
    current = theModule
 
    //Create a new object in the module to receive the import
    Object o = create theModule
 
    if (importRTF(strRtfDocName, theModule, false, false) == 0)
    {
        print "Rtf imported \n"
    }
    else
    {
        print "Not imported \n"
    }
}
else
{
    print "Module is not created \n"
}

Tony,

Just curious, did you try running Rony's unmodified code? Because I get the same error he gets when running that exact script in DOORS 8.1.0.8.

By the way, why don't the code markers work consistently, as in:
 

Here is some code.

Dear All,

I have tried the modified code but still getting the error also tried with DOORS 7.1 and the same error. In DOORS 7.1, importRTF has only one function prototype.

In DOORS 8.3, importRTF has two function prototypes which are documented in the DXL help file beside that I have found another importRTF which is bit different - I also used that but the same behaviour.

I wonder, how other people import RTF using dxl which contain picture files! It is interesting that if the picture is converted to embedded OLE then we can import without error.

I am using Word 2007 as well as Open Office in WinXP.

I am still thinking how to solve this situation but I do not know the exact problem :-(.

Greetings for everyone...
Rony
