convert_bvdr_marp: Convert .bvdr files to .marp files

In EmilyMarkowitz-NOAA/GAPsurvey: Provides at-sea data management tools for RACE GAP surveys

Convert .bvdr files to .marp files

Description

If you mistakenly delete the marport data for a haul, you can retrieve that data through this converter. Before using this script, 1. Open the .bvdr file in Notepad ++ or a similar text editor. 2. Find the uninterpretable character symbol. Often, depending on the editor, this will look like a box or the highlighted letters "SUB". Find and delete (via replace) these characters for the whole document. An error will appear and only part of the file will be read (stopping at the line before where this unsupported symbol is) if you do not edit the data ahead of time. 3. Save the .bvdr file with these changes and use the link to that file below for path_bvdr For an example of what a proper .marp file looks like, refer to system.file("exdata/convert_bvdr_marp/HAUL0001.marp", package = "GAPsurvey")

Usage

convert_bvdr_marp(path_bvdr, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

path_bvdr	Character string. The full path of the .bvdr file you want to convert. For example, path_bvdr <- system.file("exdata/convert_bvdr_marp/20220811-00Za.bvdr", package = "GAPsurvey")
verbose	Logical. Default = FALSE. If you would like a readout of what the file looks like in the console, set to TRUE.

Examples

# readLines(system.file("exdata/convert_bvdr_marp/20220811-00Za.bvdr",
#   package = "GAPsurvey"))[1:5] # input file
# head(convert_bvdr_marp(
#   path_bvdr = system.file("exdata/convert_bvdr_marp/20220811-00Za.bvdr",
#                                   package = "GAPsurvey"),
#           verbose = TRUE), 20)
# convert_bvdr_marp(
#   path_bvdr = system.file("exdata/convert_bvdr_marp/20220811-00Za.bvdr",
#                                   package = "GAPsurvey"))
# readLines(system.file("exdata/convert_bvdr_marp/20220811-00Za.marp",
#   package = "GAPsurvey")) # output file
