Does anyone have the solution to the following Survex problem I have.
When I'm linking survey files together in survex I use a command like
*equate sectionone.1 sectiontwo.2
where 'sectionone' is the name of the file and '1' is the exported station.
However, when I have stations that adopts the form 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, this seems to become impossible. If, for example, '1.1' is the station exported from 'sectionone', the equate function looks like this;
*equate sectionone.1.1 sectiontwo.2.2
which returns the following error message:
test.svx:3: Reference to station "test.sectionone.1.0" from non-existent survey "test.sectionone.1"
So it takes the survey name as 'sectionone.1' rather than 'sectionone'.
Does anyone know how to overcome this? Typically I don't use decimal points in my station names, but I'm dealing with old survey data that has spicy stations like 1.2.45, and I can't rename them all.
Simply changing the exported station to an integer doesn't work, as Survex seems to just find the next non-integer station name and give an error message like:
Reference to station "test.sectionone.1.1" from non-existent survey "test.sectionone.1"
As far as I know, Therion doesn't have this problem, and it runs on Survex. What am I missing?
