Weather Script Help

[Ray at]

Is this what the data always looks like? Like is it always full and space
delimited? If it were me, personally, I'd do:

metar = "KPGD 051853Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 29/24 A3003 RMK AO2
TSE1757B12E27RAE1754 SLP167 T02890239 TSNO"

aWeatherInfo = Split(metar, " ")

''don't know what KPGD, are supposed to be
And you will then have an array of your weather info, like CLR is "clear" I
suppose, so whether the day is clear, cloudy, etc., that info will always be
aWeatherInfo(5), assuming that your original weather strings for formatted
the same.

Perhaps this uses field lengths to specify the fields though instead, and
you may have strings like:
KPGD 051853Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 29/24 A3003 RMK AO2 TSE1757B12E27RAE1754
SLP167 T02890239 TSNO
KTR 093409 OFF 000DDF 3 CLD 0/100

And you'll have to split by position, but I doubt that's how your strings
come, since there would be issues if the temps reach 100, although it looks
like you're probably using Celcius.

It looks like,
kpgd = location - Punta Gorda, Charlotte County Airport, FL, United States
the rest of the info can be found at
[url]http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/KPGD.html[/url]


I suspect you right, they are space separated so a split to array would be
the smart thing to do.

The string is "METAR" encoded weather data.

I could split the values into an array, but then my code converted from
Perl for decoding would not work. The rest of the code for determining
temperature, wind speed, wind direction, etc. is all working but that
one regular expression appears to not work.
