Realtime.txt

Post by markrudling »

Hi guys

I am busy modifying a script that will import all the data from the realtime.txt file into a MySql database, however I seem to have an extra 4 bits of data at the end of the realtime.txt file.

Does anyone know what these are for, or if the page on the wiki is still correct? All other data matches what is on the wiki, its just the 4 fields at the end. All 4 are numbers.

Thanks
Mark

If you look in your Cumulus folder, then you will find some text files that describe the fields in each of the data files. Sorry, can't remember their filen ames at the mo. The Wiki describes the released version, not the beta.

Those 'header files' don't describe the realtime.txt fields. But the help does.
