Hello,

I need to read a time-very inlet velocity from input file, but apparently the option

type csvFile;

is no longer available in openFOAMv10. So I am using this option

  inlet
  {
      type         uniformFixedValue;
      uniformValue
      {
          type             tableFile;
          file             "inputFile.txt";
      }
  }

Where the inputFile has the following format

(       
( 0.1 0)       
(100 10.0)       
)

The first column should be the time and the second one should be the velocity magnitude. However, when I run setField I get the following error:

-> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
Expected a '(' while reading VectorSpace<Form, Cmpt, Ncmpts>, found on line 28 the label 0

file: /home/foamCase/0/hU/boundaryField/inlet/uniformValue at line 28.

    From function Foam::Istream& Foam::Istream::readBegin(const char*)
    in file db/IOstreams/IOstreams/Istream.C at line 92.

FOAM exiting

I cannot find the what's wrong here! Anyone?
Thank you!

uniformValue values are in () not {}

The hint was

Expected a ( on line 28

+1 to the counter of OpenFOAM error messages actually indicating what is the error

The error suggests that there's an issue with the syntax or formatting of your file or boundary condition definition.

In your inputFile.txt, the correct format should be time first and then the value (velocity magnitude in this case) for each line. However, it also should be a list with the outer brackets.
