You can use this editor to: | |||
*correct individual values by overtyping, | |||
*use '''delete''' key to remove an entire day (e.g. if you get a 'duplicate' error message), | |||
*use '''insert''' key to add one or more missing rows (complete days) manually, | |||
*use '''Create missing''' button to insert missing rows (complete days) by reading from [[Monthly_log_files]] and automatically calculating the best approximations for each field for those missing days. | |||
If you do have a 'duplicate' error, you need to decide which row to ''delete'', and whether to copy any values from that row into the row you are keeping to ensure the correct extremes are retained. | |||
For ''Create missing'' a list of inserted records is produced in [[dayfileeditlog.txt]]. If just some fields are wrong in a particular row (meteorological day) on day file, then there is a [[Monthly_log_files#Using_Monthly_logs_to_deal_with_shorter_.28or_incomplete.29_dayfile.txt_records_for_particular_dates | workaround]] as at all current versions (up to 1.9.4) you can only use 'Create missing' to read from the [[Monthly_log_files]] if the whole day (a row starting with a date) is missing in ''dayfile.txt''. | |||

'''Note for version 1.9.3 only:''' Create missing might in some cases be affected by a bug in 1.9.3 that can cause incorrect date order for records (dayfile.txt uses dd/mm/yy or dd-mm-yy and all records should be in ascending chronological order) | '''Note for version 1.9.3 only:''' Create missing might in some cases be affected by a bug in 1.9.3 that can cause incorrect date order for records (dayfile.txt uses dd/mm/yy or dd-mm-yy and all records should be in ascending chronological order) |
