ah, all the html code WD does not like
I would have to get it to wade through all that…

It will possible?

Cheers

Mario

yes
but there are lots of things people are wanting/waiting for me to do at the moment and there is only so many hours in the day in between running a farm, having a house full of sick kids (and me too now)
so it might be a little while (remind me about it)

Ok :smiley:

Hi Brian !!!

do you remember this post ? :lol:

Cheers

Mario

BRIAN cany you help me for this post?

i will try and find time today
but i am getting more and more busy now with cows calving (the next 6 weeks are my busiest time on the farm, sorry)

i have done this and it works (extracting the relevant data for use for the custom tags)
(but do not tick its a asos/synop metar)
wd will http download the metar as urldownmetar.txt into your metar download location
and then use that file
(with an updated ftp verison uploading now)
I will let you know when this version has finished uploading (takes about 40 minutes)

a new 9.84d is ready now

Ok tanks i’ll try :wink:

Ok i try but doesn’t work

I don’t tick ASOS/SYNOP METAR, and i insert this url to http downloaded metar

http://adds.aviationweather.gov/metars/index.php?std_trans=translated&metarIds=

and for metars i insert LIRT.TXT,LIRM.TXT and LIQK.TXT.

You can see my option page in this picture.
www.campaniameteo.com/im1.jpg

I try but doesn’t work.Why?

My WD is 984e

ok, i have found the problem (in the ftp program), tested, and it now downloads OK
uploading a new vers of wd now, will let you know when ready

ok , but my setting that you see into a picture are good?

i have it downloading OK (and the metars) with your settings
but I need to test the actual reading in of the file…as the format is a bit different once in a ascii type file compared to saving it from the source of a web page…
things are never easy you know

I try , but the metar file into lirt.met,lirm.met and liqk.met are the same of NOAA download.

I have delete the noaa ftp address into box and tick on off the first switch.

The file urldownmetar.txt created but only with lirt data

:frowning:

i just tested, and it did not mix them up for me
but i did get a page not found for the http one , and a file found for the LIQK metar…

What can i do now?

I wait your new version?

we will get there eventualy
its strange that the url is not downloading he file
it did ok when i first tried
i will find some time today hopefully

ok, i have done some looking
the url needs to be
http://adds.aviationweather.gov/metars/index.php?metarIds=LIRT
and that gets the raw un decoded metar
.i.e the .TXT is not needed
and I can then work to decode that
I will do it that way and then let you know when it is working
thanks
