Dear Mirek
I’m not Python (
https://www.python.org/) specialist, but the attached “Python” script “ LK VAC to LK VAC cz and LK VAC en 170508 for FIF.py ” could help you.
With it once you have:
A - downloaded and uncompressed the official Czech data, ex: “20170525_1” folder
B - set the right parameters
B1) replacing “/Users/Antoine/Desktop/20170525_1/” by the right values
indicate where is the folder containing the data to handle
B1.1 - setting the right pass
/Users/Antoine/Desktop/ is right for me, not for you on your computer…
B1.2 – prompting the right folder name “20170525_1” change every month
(or change the folder name)
B2) indication the location where 2 folders (“LK VAC cz" for czech pdf files anf LK VAC cz" for English pdf files) containing the data should be located
czdir="/Users/Antoine/Desktop/"+"LK VAC cz/"
endir="/Users/Antoine/Desktop/"+"LK VAC en/"
/Users/Antoine/Desktop/ is right for me, not for you on your computer…
then the script is performing the following task
i) For all filenames located in “pdf subfolder”;
- It suppress “ad-“
- It replace “_” by “ “
ii) then it creates on the desktop 2 folder allowing splitting Czech files and English files.
- one folder for LK VAC in Czech
- one folder for LK VAC in English
iii) then within these 2 folders, it creates subfolders
- one per airfield and it place
iv) and then in each sub-folder, it place all files related to the airfield
Let me know if it’s work
Enjoy your flights
Tonio
PS: Of course, as many of us, I would dream having FIF team providing such service, being able automatizing the importation of VAC PDF documents within FIF.
But I imagine, that to do it should probably be a nightmare, as there is no single source and common format, as data source are changing, as each country is different …
Even if/when data are available for free, it will probably requires a considerable amount of time building the right format and maintaining it…
Suggestion for FIF Team, if he can provide such service (at least for France), I would be ready paying for it, 12.-€/year (1.-€/AIRAC cycle…)
