Hi,

I am trying to run mne\_process\_raw from batch with an event file in the  
old format. However, when I run the command I get the following error  
message:  
"Event file is in the old format. Taking into account offset of 135000  
samples  
Read 168 events from converted\_for\_testing.eve  
Computing...  
Too few samples (required : 1885 got : 0)"

What do I do wrong?  
thanks, Sarah

Below is the command I run:  
"mne\_process\_raw \  
--raw SBT\_MEG\_005\_run1\_raw.fif \  
--cov SBT\_MEG\_005\_testing\_con\_0.01-200Hz.cov \  
--gcov SBT\_MEG\_005\_con\_0.01-200Hz\_run1cov.fif \  
--filteroff \  
--digtrig STI\_014 \  
--projon \  
--ave SBT\_MEG\_005\_testing\_con\_0.01-200Hz.ave \  
--gave SBT\_MEG\_005\_run1\_con\_0.01-200Hz.fif"
