spanish file names

Post by akshay »

hi all,
thanks for your support till now.. here i am wid another issue ..little diff though

I have written an application which ftp's cumulus monthly file to my data sserver as it gets populated. It retrieves the month from system date and coverts the file path according to cumulus monthl file name...eg if it is march so it will look for Mar10log.txt an so on... i did this so i dont have to change n give new file path every next month...as in april cumulus will create Apr10log.txt..so my prog will look for the same...

now the prob is that we have some weather stations in chile, where they have spanish version of OS (XP) installed...so i noticed that some months have totally diff names...as system date has spanish month name...like Abril, Agusto..so like in august , cumulus will create Aug10log.txt and my prog will look for Agu10log.txt... i sounds so silly...but i did nt know abt this issue as i did nt wrk with stations over there...

so my ques is that, is there any way to change the file name that cumulus creates, ....i did read in wiki some time back abt some spanish version of cumulus...can that help..

suggest guys
oh ya...have a look http://coromandel.envirotelemetrics.com/index.htm nothing flashy...just a naive effort..

thanks
Akshay

HI Akshay

The application you have written needs to take into account the 'Locale' (regional settings) for the users PC in order to work out the filename. Your application would then return the short month format in the correct language. This is what Cumulus itself does.

I'm pleased that this unintentional 'feature' actually turned out to be useful for someone!
