Hi Junchao,

Could you fix the MM example in PETSc to have this full support? That way we will always have it.

 Thanks,

Eda,
  I have a code that can read in Matrix Market and write out PETSc binary files.  Usage:  mpirun -n 1 ./mm2petsc -fin <infile> -fout <outfile>.  You can have a try.

Hello,

I am trying to load matrix in Matrix Market format. I found an example on mat file  (ex78) whih can be tested by using .dat file. Since .dat file and .mtx file are similar  in structure (specially afiro_A.dat file is similar to amesos2_test_mat0.mtx since they both have 3 columns and the columns represent the same properties), I tried to run ex78 by using amesos2_test_mat0.mtx instead of afiro_A.dat. However, I got the error "Badly formatted input file". Here is the full error message:

I know there is also an example (ex72) for Matrix Market format but in description, it is only proper for symmmetric and lower triangle, so I decided to use ex78.

Best regards,

Eda
