This Wiki
= The file types used by Cumulus =
Essentially, there are 2 file types used by all flavours of Cumulus:
# '''.ini''' file type - these hold values that represent sums, counts, or extremes, for cumulus to read, and update, as it reads the weather observations, click on [[:Category:Ini Files]] for details.
# '''.txt''' file type - these are the logs that Cumulus updates at defined intervals to hold details of what has happened, but it can also read these files when requested,
Note that there are a few .txt files, in this category, that do not use comma separated value format, like the NOAA style files in "Reports" folder. That is why this category still exists!

The files linked below all use plain text, so that they can be edited outside Cumulus. There are a number of formats
The files will be different depending on the device running MX. So on Microsoft Windows Operating System each line is terminated by a pair of characters (CR and LF), on a UNIX-derived system where Linux uses just LF to end a line, and some versions of Mac Operating System use just CR to terminate each line.
