= Recreating the file using webtags =
Occasionally there is a requirement from some users to create a copy of the realtime.txt file and have it posted to a location at the normal Cumulus web update interval rather than the realtime interval.
This can be achieved by creating a template file using the webtags below, and referencing this in the Cumulus Configuration|Internet|Files dialog. Ticking the 'Process?' checkbox, and supplying a remote filename will create this copy of the realtime.txt file.
Note that there are currently two or three small differences between the built-in realtime.txt and this version. With this version:
*The Beaufort wind speed will have a 'F' prefix (eg F2) which is omitted in the built-in version.
*The temperature unit is prefixed with the string '&deg;' which is omitted in the built-in version.
*Note also that the built-in realtime.txt always uses a 'dot' decimal character (as so is JavaScript/PHP 'safe'), the web tag version will use your host computers localisation for decimals. [There are some #RCxxx webtags available but they do not cover all the required values]
To ensure decimal compatibility across systems use a js construct such as:
var rt = realtime.split(" ");
var temp = +r[2].replace(',','.');
when referring to decimal values in the constructed file.
