blends.ini (trac #428)

[cloudy-bot]

reported by: @CloudyLex

There is a serious problem with the blends.ini file which we use to add blends to the code. We want to add the following definition of total Fe Ka and this should add an entry "Blnd" 1.8A

set blend 1.8 quiet
"FeKa"      1.78000A		# total intensity of K-alpha line
"Fe26"      1.78177A		# H-like, 1 3,   1^2S -   2^2P
"Fe25"      1.85951A		# He-like, 1 5,   1^1S -   2^3P_1
"Fe25"      1.85541A		# He-like, 1 6,   1^1S -   2^3P_2
"Fe25"      1.85040A		# He-like, 1 7,   1^1S -   2^1P_1
"Fe25"      1.86819A		# He-like, 1 2,   1^1S -   2^3S
end

run the following input includes adds SAVE LINE LABELS to save the list of lines.

test
save line labels "test.txt"

the blend is not present in the line labels file test.txt.

if we remove "FeKa" then the blend is present

so the FeKa component causes the blend logic to silently fail
