See my other posting "IGC File Name Decoding Made Easy" on this topic.

Several people asked me to automate the "onerous" task of translating
FAI/IGC/CAI flight recorder file names.

I created an Excel spreadsheet which does the trick. See
http://www.skysoaring.com/FAI_Flight...e_Decoder_V1.x.
There is some error checking in this version and I am adding more.

Enter (copy/paste) the filename into the yellow box. The results of
the decoding immediately appear below in the green box.

Let me know if you find this useful. If so, and I find the time, I
will try to create a standalone visual basic tool.

Enjoy, John
