If you name the output file with an .xls extension you can open it
directly with excel.

An early bug report with an easy workaround: the hyperlinks in the
output have a semicolon between the arguments, which works for
OpenOffice Calc. If you import into Excel, you'll need to search and
replace the semicolons with commas first. (The hyperlinks exist to
open individual log files in SeeYou, or whatever software you use that
opens .IGC files.)

Thanks to Mark Hawkins for the bug report.

Pretty neat Ted. I had to brush up on my command line skills.

I can't get the hyperlinks to work. I get a "Can't Open the Specified
File" error. I suspect it has to do with the path name. Now all I need
to do is create a linked import sheet that draws from your format into
mine.

Andy - the hyperlinks will only work if you have an application
installed (like SeeYou) that is associated with .IGC files. If you
have SeeYou installed, check your system settings to make sure the
file type association is in place.

Yup - I have SeeYou and the correct association to .igc. In fact the
hyperlinks I set up manually using Excel pull-down menus work fine.

(sound of head scratching)

2NO - Thanks for this tool. Helped me fill out my log book. Also, looking
at the output I noticed that throughout the year the GID in my 302 changes,
so I need to find which program (SeeYou Mobil, ConnectMe, or the Cambridge
CE tool) is setting it incorrectly.

I too have the HYPERLINK problem and I'm using OpenOffice Calc. My file
associations are okay since SeeYou is launched if I double-click an IGC in
Explorer. The error message from Calc says, file:///845C46G3.IGC The
specified path does not exist.

I have the Calc file in the same folder as the IGCs.

I've updated the readme.txt file at the web site with a few more tips.

If you like to use the hyperlink feature to open flights in SeeYou,
the trick is to provide the full path to your flight storage folder
when you run the program. Unfortunately, paths have to be short (DOS
8.3) format (GNU gcc does not give me a function to convert).

Perhaps it could look for a text file in the same directory as the IGC
files named something like path.txt that would simply contain the full
path to the directory where the IGC Files are located. Then you could
simply pre-pend this path to the actual file names. Just my 2 cents.
I'm not the one that has to code it up though. :-)
