Fix matching of source_id when observation_id includes station_id with hyphen in it

[agstephens]

My code splits on the hyphen, so you are right, I might need to rerun everything.

I currently do this:

primary_id, record_number = x['observation_id'].split('-')[:2]

So, I would convert this as follows:

id = " BR00B6-0360-1-1965-01-01-44-13"
primary_id, record_number = id.split('-')[:2]
primary_id == 'BR00B6'
record_number == '0360'

What is the foolproof method of breaking it up?

• Does it always end with: --
  -- ?
• If so, I can split off the last 5 items first…
• …then:
  • record_number = last item
  • primary_id = first items joined by '-'

Will that do the job?

A new method of working back on the split would work, the files will always have :

Daily:  <YYYY>-<MM>-<DD>-<observed_variable>-<value_significance>
Sub daily : <YYYY>-<MM>-<DD>-<HH:MM>-<observed_variable>-<value_significance>
MONTHLY : <YYYY>-<MM>-<observed_variable>-<value_significance>
