ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'NA-052'

adif_merge 1.1.2 Python 3.8.5

Problem When trying to merge two ADIF files together, I got the following error:

$ .local/bin/adif_merge -o mergelog.adif -c log.log -p problem.json Log4OM_ADIF_20201231232432.adi qdure-123120-log_KC2IEB.adi
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".local/bin/adif_merge", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/home/cwawak/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/adif_merge/__init__.py", line 543, in main
    qsos.append(fixup_qso(qso, filename))
  File "/home/cwawak/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/adif_merge/__init__.py", line 177, in fixup_qso
    qso[field] = int(float(qso[field]))
ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'NA-052'

It looks like it's choking on parsing an IOTA reference:

Expected Behavior I'd expect to be able to merge these files without errors.

I agree. The problem is that IOTA_ISLAND_ID is supposed to be an 8 digit number per the ADIF spec, not continent-xxxx which is the definition for IOTA.

Is it possible your logging program corrupted it?

In any case it’s a trivial “fix” to ignore and allow the corruption. While I’m in there I should make these errors a bit more user friendly. On Jan 1, 2021, 9:44 AM -0800, Christopher Wawak notifications@github.com, wrote:

@pleasantone Sorry for the multi year delay!

There's two options for ADIF export in Log4OM - "Standard ADIF" and whatever Log4OM speaks. When I export "standard ADIF", the IOTA_ISLAND_ID field is not included and the merge works perfectly.

I should file a bug with Log4OM to see if they're interested in outputting the correct field per adif spec on their non-standard ADIF export. Thank you so much for the help!
