[Solved] Multiwfn Charge transfer spectra plotting problem

Sakib

I am facing the following error during plotting the charge transfer spectrum, How can I solve this?

As explicitly shown by prompt, CT_multiple\total_spectrum.txt doesn't exist in current folder. Please carefully follow the steps described in Section 4.18.16 of Multiwfn manual, after

Sir, I have read the manual carefully and performed the steps accordingly. But fund the same error,  total_spectrum.txt  is present in the folder but it says can't find the total_spectrum.txt.I have attached the screenshot of the folder below.

Please pay attention to what is "current folder", see relevant description in page 2 of Multiwfn manual:

8. The so-called “current folder” in this manual and in prompts of Multiwfn refers to the path where you are invoking Multiwfn. If you boot up Multiwfn by clicking the icon of executable file in Windows platform, the “current folder” is the folder containing Multiwfn executable file. In the case of command-line mode, if you are in “D:\study\” directory when invoking Multiwfn, then “D:\study\” is “current directory”.

"CT_multiple" must be a subfolder of "current folder".

Sir, I moved the "CT_multiple" to the current folder but still facing the error, I have attached the calculation log here. Thanks for your patience.

Finally, I am able to plot the spectra, Thank you very much teacher for your time.
