The native sentence structure differs somewhat, but it's definitely familar. (Even more so to those of us that use our GPSes to look for containers in the woods. :-) > Also many thanks for your comments regarding the character set. I don't know how well it'll work, but I did want to raise it as a problem area. Character set transformations have been a topic of disucssion before that invariably end in me running into those same woods screaming. If you really understand the character set in use and would like to help us work through any issues, that'd be great. IF your input stream AND Mapsource both use one of the ISO 8859 European encodings, I *think* it'll all work out. I won't fake shock if it doesn't. > Normally the local windows settings (German) > are Semikolon for field delimiter and comma for decimal point. > There is no directive DECIMALPOINT or something like this, so I think > only decimal point is allowed!? If I understand correctly, you'd like to express your CSV strain something like 49,594;11,6347;Achanpass right? RJL |
