LoadAscii won't load file created with SaveAscii

[Russell Taylor]

The attached file, which was created using SaveAscii, cannot be loaded with either the generic Load algorithm (which cannot work out which algorithm to use) or the specific LoadAscii algorithm.

LoadAscii gives this output:

Invalid value on line 76 of "/home/tr9/mpi/mantidtest/test.txt" Error in execution of algorithm LoadAscii: Invalid value encountered.

The line referred to (well actually line 77) contains nan's. Delete those and it works - but it should be able to cope anyway!

Also, SaveAscii uses "Workspace" as the property name, when all the other Save algorithms use "InputWorkspace".

Finally, the dialog box for LoadAscii for some reason has the title "Load Workspace from DAE" and doesn't display the yellow box containing the 'optional message'.

"New" tickets moved at the code freeze of iteration 29

Refs #3079 Dialog box for LoadAscii now has optional message. SaveAscii now uses InputWorkspace. The LoadAscii can now run a file containing NaN's without having to delete them. LoadAscii has been changed slightly so that it runs with a rank of 10. Finally the quickFileCheck now works, before the fix it was always true unless the file didn't have a file extension.

Fix code broken by LoadAscii changes. Re #3079

[Nick Draper]

Fails on 1.QNan on line 76

[Nick Draper]

original file loads,

but then tested with saving the original workspace with save ascii and reloading the result. Fails on line 76 where there are some 1.QNAN entries.

File saveasciitest.txt attached.

version 1.30.14747

Refs #3079. Fixed the LoadAscii to read in the quiet_NaN's "1.#QNaN" that are saved by SaveAscii when dealing with NaN's.
