Survey names with spaces from Compass files result in invalid names in Survex files #5

Open Footleg opened 5 years ago

Footleg commented 5 years ago

(Received via email) If in the original survey, the user names a survey line with a space (like "Red Gallery") in the survex files, it will be converted as *BEGIN Red Gallery

which generates an error, because I think that survex doesn't accept survey names with 2 terms.

I will tell the cave surveyors to give single word for name (or use underscores). However, I will probably have to import old large compass files, and there may be several occurrence of that. Is it possible for Caveconverter to detect this case, and add an underscore in the name ?
