adif-pota2sig

Process adif file for POTA uploads

SYNOPSIS

adif-pota2sig.pl -i in.adi -o out.adi

adif-pota2sig.pl < in.adi > out.adi

adif-pota2sig.pl -r K-TEST -t out_REF.adi -i in.adi

adif-pota2sig.pl -r K-TEST -t out_REF.adi < in.adi

adif-pota2sig.pl -h

DESCRIPTION

adif-pota2sig will read an adif file, if a contact has one or more POTA_REF entries (delimited by a comma), add SIG POTA and SIG_INFO with reference. Multiply contact such, that every POTA_REF entry is a separate contact with own SIG_INFO. Extendet adif file will be printed to stdout or a file.

If used with -r and -t options a number of files with contents described above will be created. One file for each POTA reference. For output filenames see -t.

With -r you can also include the location in the format REFERENCE@LOCATION, which is handy for trails. E. g. -r DE-0622@DE-HH

OPTIONS

• -h|--help

  Print a brief help message and exits.

• -i in.adi|--input=in.adi

  Use in.adi as input (default: - for stdin).

• -o out.adi|--output=out.adi

  Use out.adi as output (default: - for stdout).

• -r MY_POTA_REF|--reference=MY_POTA_REF

  Use MY_POTA_REF as own POTA reference. If there are more than one (for a n-fer) create a list with commas, e. g. -r K-TEST1,K-TEST2,K-TEST3.

  Also set the entries MY_SIG and MY_SIG_INFO matching the reference in the output files. By default already existing entries with MY_SIG and MY_SIG_INFO won't be overwritten and the program will stop. Using -f will overwrite the entries.

  -t is mandatory for this option.

• -t out_REF.adi|--template=out_REF.adi

  Use out_REF.adi as output filename template for multiple references. REF will be replaced by a POTA reference. Multiple filenames will be created.

  -o is not allowed for this option.

  -r is mandatory for this option.

• -f|--force

  By default filenames selected with -o and -t won't be overwritten and the program will stop. Using -f will overwrite output files.
