Hi, at first I thought this would be quite easy but I'm struggling a bit.
The background is I need a text file to import into WXSim using the Cumulus
%Y%mlog.txt format. I created a simple skin that generates the %Y%mlog.txt
each reporting cycle (5 minutes in my case), but is there a way to append
the next cycle to the existing file as a new line rather than overwrite it?
My skin.conf looks like this:
[CheetahGenerator]
encoding = utf8
[[ToDate]]
[[[text-data]]]
template = %Y%mlog.txt.tmpl
[CopyGenerator]
copy_always = *.txt
[Generators]
generator_list = weewx.cheetahgenerator.CheetahGenerator,
weewx.reportengine.CopyGenerator
And the template:
#encoding UTF-8
#errorCatcher Echo
## +------------------------------------------------------+
## | Cumulus Monthly Output Template |
## +------------------------------------------------------+
## | Produces a YYYYmmlog.txt output for import to WXSim |
## +------------------------------------------------------+
$current.dateTime,$current.outTemp.format(add_label=False),$current.outHumidity.format(add_label=False),$current.dewpoint.format(add_label=False),$current.windSpeed.format(add_label=False),$current.windGust.format(add_label=False),$current.windDir.format(add_label=False),,,$current.barometer.format(add_label=False),$day.rain.sum.format(add_label=False),,,,,,,$current.radiation.format(add_label=False),
Which produces a text file called 202412log.txt:
18/12/24 19:40:00,6.3,82,3.4,10,37,266,,,982.8,15.4,,,,,,,0,
WXSim can read this, however it only contains a single observation period.
I would like to append the data to the file until the month is complete,
then generate a new file for the next month. Any ideas? It will likely need
some Python which is not my strongpoint, although I can get around it a
bit...
I'm running WeeWX 5.1 if it makes it easier. TIA
