Pete,
The decoders are expecting the FOS or AFOS bulletin delimeters to
identify where
a product starts/stops. Since your log output shows no bulletins read,
you
will have to add them to the bulletins before streaming them to DC text
bulletin decoders, such as the following script:
----------------- addfos.csh -------------------
#!/bin/csh -f
printf "\001\r\r\n000 \r\r\n"
cat
printf "\r\r\n\003"
----------------- end of csh script ---------------
place the 4 line script in a file called addfos.csh, and make the script
executable with "chmod a+x addfos.csh"
then pipe your data to the decoder through the above script such as:
cat wwus30.kwns.saw.5.txt | addfos.csh | dcwtch -v 1 -d - -c 15/1800
YYYYMMDDHH.watch
Using your text product below, you should obtain output that looks like:
|TS|070515/1755|070516/0200|275 |0|0
39.99 -85.82
39.99 -88.84
43.80 -84.50
43.80 -81.29
