Decimal separator
hi guys, I would like the noaa to have the point as decimal separator as in the realtime.txt file.
If I change the properties of windows as a separator symbol I put a period, when I go to regenerate the noaa I don't see anything.
Maybe there is an entry where you can enter the type of separator symbol to use.
Thanks
Valerio

Re: Decimal separator
The NOAA reports take whatever decimal separator that your locale uses, that cannot be changed.
You cannot just switch locale and run Cumulus MX again, you would have to edit all your data files and change the decimal separator and list separator in those as well.

Re: Decimal separator
ok, but I don't understand why on realtime.txt it uses the point while on noaa it uses the comma

Re: Decimal separator
Realtime.txt is designed to be read by computers so always uses a dot decimal, the NOAA reports are designed to be read by humans so use your locale separator.

Re: Decimal separator
however I don't understand why both graphweather and WeatherLink save the file noaa with the dot as a separator without changing the windows settings.
if on windows I change the decimal separator then with other programs it is very confusing.
If possible maybe with future updates, have the possibility to insert the period as a separator without touching the windows settings.

Re: Decimal separator
thank you for including the possibility to set the point on NOAA reports,
I notice however that the monthly part doesn't work well.
