Ok, after several hours of poking around I believe that I found and worked
around the problem. It seems that when the Perl script outputs the NAT rules
it does not conform to the JSON spec, as it omitts the comma between the
"install_on" array elements.

Here are the details of the fwdoc script I used:

File name: fw1r65_to_fwdoc.pl
Version: 0.8.12
Size: 76,643 bytes

Modification required:

Line 1515: Change from $scomma=''; to $scomma=',';

Good day,
 
I've generated output of a R65 rule base using FW1r65_to_FWdoc (Version 0.8.12) on Windows.
 
When I attempt to pipe the output to one of the Python scripts (e.g. C:\FW1R65~1>perl fw1r65_to_fwdoc.pl --merge_AI=rulebases_5_0.fws | c:\python24\python c:\fw1r65~1\fwdoc_verify.py) I get the following error:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\fw1r65_to_fwdoc\fwdoc_to_txt.py", line 46, in ?
    fwdoc = json.read(fwdoctxt)
  File "C:\fw1r65_to_fwdoc\json.py", line 310, in read
    return JsonReader().read(s)

  File "C:\fw1r65_to_fwdoc\json.py", line 54, in read
    result = self._read()
  File "C:\fw1r65_to_fwdoc\json.py", line 63, in _read

  File "C:\fw1r65_to_fwdoc\json.py", line 221, in _readObject

    val = self._read()

  File "C:\fw1r65_to_fwdoc\json.py", line 80, in _read
    raise ReadException, "Input is not valid JSON: '%s'" % self._generator.all()
json.ReadException: Input is not valid JSON: '{

 
<IT OUTPUTS THE ENTIRE CONTENTS OF THE FWDOC OUTPUT HERE>
The FWDOC_VERIFY.PY script does NOT output the expected "okay" message.
 
Any thoughts on how I can get this working?
 
Many Thanks.
