dsdplus python script?

[hotpocket]

I wonder if anyone has thought of making a python script to generate the DSDplus.frequencies file? The basic idea is the script would first prompt you to enter:

• protocol
• networkID
• siteNumber
• OTAchannelNumber
• TXfrequency
• RCfrequency
• sortOrder

once entered, it would insert it into a line in the DSDplus.frequencies file, starting at line 8. it would then ask you if you wish to add another entry. if you said yes, it would increment the line number by 1, and then repeat the prompts. if you said no, it would write the file as DSDplus.frequencies

Wouldn't it be much easier to simply use a text editor to edit the DSDPlus.* files? I know it is for me.

In the time it takes you to add all the info to that script, I could have 3 done before you had 1.
Also, notepad++ you can do CTRL+D to copy the same line of info below the line you have highlighted.

I can edit more than one at a time by holding ALT+SHIFT and dragging my mouse to a spot that lets me edit more than 1 at a time.
Pic if you want to see it highlighted in the center of a text doc.

yeah, i suppose it is kind of pointless. plus with utilities like DSDPlusUI, it makes it a lot easier as well

I have just been using excel , that way I can just copy and paste off of RR . Once I have all the data in excel I just format a cell to display the info in dsd+ format and then I am done in under 10 min. It saved me some time recently when I was helping someone setup dsd+ with the Alberta P25 provincial network.

I also thought of making a script to do it , but I am adding new networks so infrequently that I just stick with my excel file. You can make the same thing in open office calc, however my empolyer has excel installed.
