Editing dayfile .txt to correct rain data

Post by aldofer »

Due to a rain gauge malfunction on my Fine Offset station i removed it for some days (now i am waiting for the new gauge).
Then i tried to fill the missing daily rainfalls data (using data from other stations near to me) by editing the dayfile.txt for the days from feb 13th to 17th but this worked partially:
feb 13th: 6.2 mm OK on the monthly graph
feb 14th: 1.0 mm OK
feb 15th: 3.7 mm Ok
feb 16th: 27.7 mm no data on graph
feb 17th: 19.2 mm no data on graph
(feb 18th an feb 19th : no rain)

I didn't edit any other file, what's wrong ?

Ciao Aldo :)

You've used full stop decimals instead of commas:

16/02/11;7,2;135;15.44;7,0;04.52;9,2 ;15.36;992,6 ;20.07;1002,4;00.02;7,2;21.37;27.7;8,3;2,2;3,6;15.44
17/02/11;14,8;315;02.03;7,4;05.28;11,5;12.28;995,6;00.03;1003,4;21.49;7,2;17.35;19.2;9,1;3,6;5,0;00.58

Steve, and all,
I just opened my dayfile to check what you had pointed out. How come in my dayfile I see only decimals(in data), colons (in times), and commas (to delineate). I do not see any semi-colons. Why :?:

Because that's how you have your Windows settings.
