Import Network Package - format error when importing transit lines

[malamillo]

Hi all,

Is it possible to add a feature to the 'Import Network Package' to deal with issue of importing transit lines names from NWP files created using the previous TMG toolbox and EMME 4.3 (< TMGToolbox-dev-1.8)?

For example, the line header for line M009Aa below:

a'M009Aa' b 17 22.50 24.02 Rathburn-Miller's A 20 0 0

Gives the following formatting error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\GGHM\Program\TMGToolbox-dev-1.8\TMGToolbox\src\input_output\import_network_package.py", line 463, in run

A solution is to directly edit the transit lines files themselves to remove the ' characters from the transit line names, but when you have several files, that makes it more challenging.

Hello @malamillo , please pull the latest commit for dev-1.8, which should solve this issue. Kindly let us know if this works for you.

@lunaxi7 thank you. I've tried the new toolbox version and it works for me.

If there's a script or code to patch nwp files where there are empty transit line names I'd be interested in that.
