Hi all,
I have a receiver that has no support for it all anymore. It is a
completely legal receiver, (thats why it has no support). I would like
to be able to edit the channel list on my PC. I can easily get the
channel list from it, and I can upload it again, but there is no editor
to manipulate the data. If I could import the text file edit the data
then save it in the same format I could get by without a channel editor
like the newer ones have.
I'll include a snippet of the file so you can see. First off the closest
I've come to importing the file corectly is to import using spaces as a
delimiter, and quotes as a text qualifier. It doesn't matter what excel
sees the data as as long as it saves in a dos text file of the same
format.
Problems:
First: There are Headings surrounded by Brackets that should remain in
brackets. They should ALL be in the first column, some of the headings
have spaces in them causing them to be broken up to the second or third
column.
Second: There are also numbers in the first column under each heading,
here the numbers are preceeded with spaces, so the numbers get shifted
to the second column. They need to remain in the first column with the
spaces if possible.
Third since I use the quotes as a text qualifer, the text is imported
properly, but the quotes are stripped out. I need the quotes to be in
the output file.
Fourth and last (I think) I have tried to output a text file and it was
pretty close, but I noticed that some of the spaces had been converted
to tabs, and they need to remain spaces.
(Hopefully this will all be easy for someone to answer)
Here's a file snippet, the data under the headings has been trimmed to
only two lines, it is usually a lot more than shown here, but the format
is the same.
[SATELLITE_NAME_LIST]<----------- this heading is ok
1 "T 5/Ku" <--------number(1 here) gets shifted one column
2 "G 10R KU V" <--------need to keep the quotes in output
[SATELLITE]
1 "T 5/Ku" N 10750 0000 1 64566
2 "G 10R KU V" N 10750 0001 2 0
[DIGITAL TP] <------------------This heading gets broken up
1 1 12152 20000 H "--"
2 1 11874 22000 H "Globecast"
[DIGITAL CHANNEL]
1 234 37 1 TV "The Outdoor C" 1 N
2 234 37 6 TV "The Outdoor C" 1 N
[DIGITAL PID CHANNEL]
[ANALOG TP]
[END]
Thanks in advance for looking, and any help you can offer,
