Hi I have some data that is easily copied out of another application in a format like this; station tape compass clino 1 2 22.6 112 0 3 25.3 244 10 2 4 30 8 -23 5 30 134 11 And with a bit of simple but tedious manipulation I can get it into a Therion friendly; data normal station newline tape compass clino 1 22.6 112 0 2 25.3 244 10 3 data normal station newline tape compass clino 2 30 8 -23 4 30 134 11 5 And this works perfectly. I am looking to reduce the manipulation required however. Is there a way I can get the first format to work directly in therion? I have tried; data normal station newline to tape compass clino and data normal from newline to tape compass clino and some other variations, but they always give a 'missing data' or 'too much data' error at the start or end of the data block. Ideas anyone? Bruce
