[Dx4win] Ver 8.01 issues

Sat Aug 8 15:36:36 EDT 2009

It does not work this way Guy!

I am also in trouble with the delimiter as I have used space between name
and QTH.

I have been trying to find way to export the log to change the delimiter but
it is impossible with DXQ-QXN export-import because the Notes for This Call
gets doubled! Meaning the old values are not replaced whatever you do but
anything you import on top of them are added with "/".

Even if you export your log, delete ALL QSOs after that and import all the
QSOs back then your Notes for This Call get multiplied by two with "/" in
between. Crazy.

And it is not possible to open a new log file (thus getting rid of the old
Notes... data) and import all QSOs there because then you also lose all the
Groups list.

Thus as far as I have no idea how do change delimiter automatically in ADIF
file with my domestic tools like excel etc I don't see any way to accomplish
this task without the program being modified to let the user choose the
delimiter, better yet logic similar to Excel Text to Columns.

What I really need is to be able to split at the first space. As there are
often spaces in QTH description (like near Rome or alike).

Thats normally fixed in a few minutes
In version 7
Export your log >>> DX4WIN6
THE *.DXN file contains the name and qth, change the delimiter with textpad
or similar to IN
Save and import
