Hello cavers, for those of you who either use the "Compass" cave surveying package together with Therion or need to convert legacy data from Compass there is something to try out. I wrote a little converter that transfers Compass raw data (*.dat) to Therion (*.th). You can find a description and the source code at <https://github.com/rogerschuster/compass2therion> and a compiled package for download at <https://github.com/rogerschuster/compass2therion/releases/download/v1.0.0/compass2therion-1.0.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar> Please give it a try, I hope it is useful for some of you! Best regards, Roger

Super, it works! But there are many warning as this: WARNING: Survey name RG1-38 contains non-alphanumeric characters. This may cause problems in Therion. pro 20, 2020 3:57:37 ODP. de.r_schuster.writer.TherionWriter writeSurvey but as I checked it there is no non-alphanumeric character there. I may not send you those data, because they are not my. Martin

Hi Martin, The "-" is the non alphanumeric character. I tried with some sample data and it's not clear to me which characters are ok and which aren't. While Therion allows for example 2/3 as a survey name it doesn't accept 2.3 and others. Because I can't test all possible characters I decided to emit a warning for any character that is no number and no letter. The converter will continue processing though. If somebody gives me a list of accepted characters I can try to adapt the code. Regards, Roger 20.12.2020 16:04:08 Martin Sluka via Therion <therion@speleo.sk>:

That's great Roger (so thanks for doing that), but I wonder if you are aware of 'caveconverter' which already does compass to Survex amongst a selection of other formats (survex, and toporobot out, compass, survex, pockettopo and DXF in). http://wscc.darkgem.com/caveconverter/ It is also java, and it's really better to have one versatile converter than lots of separate ones, so I don't know if I could persuade you to take a look and see if you can merge your code into caveconverter because 'therion output' is the main thing it is missing and you've done that? This may be too much like hard work, but I feel the caving world would benefit if it was done, and it may actually be quite easy.
