gridxp.py appends output at the bottom of the existing files

[mandiayba]

When I re-run evaluate.xp with an existing old results (into the evaluate.txt files), the new results are added at the bottom of the evaluate.txt files, that causes aggregate.xp to consider the old results, not the new ones.

commands

• "...gridxp.py --load-path xp evaluate.xp vector-size.xp"
• "...gridxp.py --load-path xp aggregate.xp vector-size.xp"

If you mean the standard output and error. This is because of the Grid Engine. It always appends.

What we can do: delete output and error files before execution. But you might regret it. Or as an option?

[mandiayba]

an option is a solution, yes.

otherwise, maybe adapt aggregate.xp to just collect only the latest results appended to evaluate.txt

A directive has been added at a595ceb:

delete_out(True)

Before running a command for a set of parameter values, it deletes the output and error files. Will not delete if dry run or updating.

There's a command-line option too: --delete-out
