Adding coordinates (degrees/minutes/seconds) in Cat-eLog.

Post by MatsP »

Sometimes we have geographical coordinates data in degrees, minutes and secondslike this:
25°25'29"S/53°07'30"W
to go into the Cat-eLog (e.g. in t he Type location field).

Since there is a problem with fields that contain BOTH single quotes (') and double quotes ("), these fields are not accepted in full - they "stop" just before "S in the above case. The solution to this is to replace the double quotes (manually) with two single quotes. It appears the same when shown on screen, but allows the data to be stored completely in the Cat-eLog without being cut short.
