Script for writing RDSSpy compatible sample files

[andimik]

rtl-rx_rdsspy.sh will write PI-Code, Date, Time and Frequency to the file name in the current directory

[windytan]

I've added this command in the wiki instead.

Ok

One question: I wanted to improve it by adding the timestamp (like in the original RDSSPY app),

<recorder="RDS Spy" date="2020-01-07" time="18-39-02" source="2" name="" location="" notes="">
A3DD 0403 E376 4120 @2020/01/07 18:39:00.86
A3DD 0400 767F 522E @2020/01/07 18:39:00.86
A3DD 0401 E376 4D41 @2020/01/07 18:39:00.94
A3DD 0402 767F 5249 @2020/01/07 18:39:01.01
A3DD 0403 E376 4120 @2020/01/07 18:39:01.21
A3DD 0400 767F 522E @2020/01/07 18:39:01.21

but microseconds are not detected with parameter %f

Do you have an idea?

[windytan]

Unlike Python's datetime.now().strftime(), the C strftime used by redsea doesn't support fractional seconds. A possible solution would be to add a special option just for printing the timestamp in the RDS Spy format (-T or something); just thinking aloud.

[windytan]

This is an interesting problem and I want to do it right, I wrote some technical notes in #70 - mainly for myself but comments are welcome, too.

You should now be able to use "%f".
