axlExtractToFile, is there a limit to the list of output files?

Hi all,

I am trying to use a multi-view extract view file with axlExtractToFile. There are more than 16 views in the view file and when I try and use axlExtractToFile the extracts stops at 16. Is there a limit to how many views you can have in one file?

netFiles is a list of 20 output file names to be used.

when(netFiles
    axlExtractToFile("./48V_view.txt" netFiles)


    ;parse out the info I need from each output file


        foreach(v48nets netFiles
        v48nets=strcat(v48nets ".txt")
        extractOut2=infile(v48nets)
            while(gets(strOfNets extractOut2)
            checkForS=symbolToString(getchar(strOfNets 1))
                when(checkForS=="S"
                fprintf(netviews strOfNets)
                );when

    for axl Extract the limit is 15, If you need more the 15 views, divide your viewFile into multiple files and call extract multiple times.
