Question

I've managed to get BackyardEOS to access the daily text file from my Davis Vantage Pro2 weather station for temperature/humidity measurements. For the most part, this works very well - but we've had a significant cold spell here where the temperature has been single digits and below zero. Every time this happens, BackyardEOS chokes on the data because the characters reported by the Davis text file change position (different starting point and different length). I can see that the same situation will likely occur if the temperature gets above 99F, but I won't likely be imaging under those conditions where I live!! I believe that this issue could be corrected if BYEOS could read the text file as a delimited text file with maybe a dropdown for the delimiting character (comma, semi-colon, etc.) rather than a fixed length text file. Any chance this could be done?
Thanks for listening.

Ah, okay. I see the file is comma delimited instead of the (currently supported) space delimited implementation. Perhaps the easiest way to approach this would be to offer a comma delimited text

I just tried your settings with your file and I get a reading.
