Goto list

Post by Forum_2016 »

Hi,

When I make a text file (with wordpad and saved as plain .txt file) and make a entry like:

AlpCet 03 03 07.29 +04 09 06.9
AlpTau 04 36 50.69 +16 32 25.4
AlpOri 05 56 02.56 +07 24 31.8 // Betelgeuze

The resulting goto list when read into AA5 looks like:

AlpCet,03 03 07 17.4 +04 09 07
AlpTau,04 12 50 41.4 +16 32 25
AlpOri,05 32 02 33.6 +07 24 32

?????
So it looks like rounding off the DEC values, ok, but what about the name and RA values?
It is clearly adding the first two digits to the name but after that I am puzzled.....

Regards Arnold

Just to make it more clear, AlpCet,03 is in the column Name an the RA value column says 03 07 17.4

Ok.... found the answer myself ;-))
AA5 does not like the use of the TAB key to make nice columns!
