Re: Recovering from bad data import
Thanks again Luc, excellent suggestions, and I ran the reformat script this morning. I live in the woods and tend to get knocked off the grid a couple of times a year, and will certainly remember to use tab delimiting with WeatherDisplay from here on out. Although I keep thinking WeeWX on a Pi might...

Re: Feature request- option to increase sample size on bulk data import
Well, it was worth asking. I'll continue to do it the way I resolved my issue today, which was to upload a text file, test, edit the text file to delete the top row, upload the text file again, test again, edit the text file again, deleting rows until the hour changes from 9 to 10, upload the edited...

Feature request- option to increase sample size on bulk data import
After recently encountering database import errors, would it be possible to have the 'test import' functionality include more than one row of data? Matching the field numbers with the first row of data appeared to work in the test, yet failed significantly when differences in subsequent rows were en...

Re: Recovering from bad data import
Using tab as the delimiter instead of a space worked much better! Thanks for the bulk database editor too Jachym, it made the cleanup less painful. Now I'll head on over to the feature request thread and ask for the option to have more than one line of data to be tested before a bulk import.

Re: Recovering from bad data import
Maybe this will illustrate it better- as I noted, the formatting in the forum truncated the extra space:

Re: Recovering from bad data import
Thanks Luc, but I think I have figured out where the process is failing. WeatherDisplay doesn't seem to use forwarding zeros, and the Meteotemplate space delimiter parsing script doesn't handle that well. In this example, the time (minute) is in field 5 at 10:09AM and in field 4 at 10:10AM. There ar...

Recovering from bad data import
Due to a severe storm, I was knocked offline for a couple of days. In any event, I did a test import which looked terrific, so I imported the records from WeatherDisplay and everything did not follow the pattern of the first record? Here is the test import: Summary The following would be imported to...
