Ahh the pitfalls of using an archaic mailing list instead of a forum, no ability to search old posts effectively.
I'm having an issue with CSV import. It seems that Chirp is using it's own interpretation.
1. Open Office and Excel both save CSV in formats that can not be imported which is not Chirps fault but I still have to deal with it. So, is there a list of settings and character encoding that actually work when saving from Open Office Calc?
2. Chirp seems to break the RFC 4180 ( http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180 ) for CSV in that if you quote the header fields it breaks. Does that need to be reported as a bug?
This is what I'm doing that I cannot seem to get to work. I have a Calc document with the repeaters for the state of Indiana. I export a chirp file to csv and open that in calc as explained here: http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/1251 Then I just copy and paste the fields into the chirp csv file and save. I get the no channels found error.
I use sed to strip out any excess hidden characters and then try again and still I get the no channels error.
Maybe I am going about this wrong? is there a way to post columns into chirp directly? If so that would be much easier but it doesn't seem to let me.
