webtags

[water01]

If I am being stupid say so but when there is no data for a webtag (e.g. #ByMonthTempH mon=1 in my case as the station was not running in January) it returns "---". Is there a way to get it to return "000" instead?

You could process the string afterwards to convert --- to anything you like.
Strictly, --- is a better representation for missing than is the value zero (which could be a real temperature or wind speed).

I know I could process the string but just wondered if there was a webtag way. If not the coding will have to be done.

Hi David, the answer is no, it will always return dashes for records with no value.

Thanks for the definitive answer, now to work out some code!!
