Carefully review the file. Remember that the "\" character as the ''last'' character in a line in emacs is a '''line-continuation''' character. (For reference, you may read [https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Continuation-Lines.html Continuation-Lines].) You'll probably find it much easier to read most lines if you maximize the width of your window. | |||

CSV File Processing[edit]
This tutorial will provide an introduction about processing CSV files.
Research[edit]
- Read CSV Files (Creativyst)
- Read ICAO Airport Codes (Wikipedia)
- Read Aviation Weather Center Mission (US Government)
- Read Metar Overview (Wikipedia)
Experiment[edit]
Create a new directory in your ~/projects folder, named project-2651. Then, download this file Example-metars.csv to that directory.
cd ~/projects
mkdir project-2651
cd project-2651
wget https://wiki.codermerlin.com/mediawiki/images/1/15/Example-metars.csv
View the file in emacs:
emacs Example-metars.csv
Carefully review the file. Remember that the "\" character as the last character in a line in emacs is a line-continuation character. (For reference, you may read Continuation-Lines.) You'll probably find it much easier to read most lines if you maximize the width of your window.
