CSV Batch File Converter Help

This program will convert batches of legal land descriptions and National Topographic System descriptions to latitude and longitude,

Any line with 7 fields total (6 NTS Fields + 1 Account ID Field) is treated as NTS data.

Any line with 6 fields total (5 Legal Land Description Fields + 1 Account ID Field) is treated as Legal Land data.

Legal Land Data and NTS Data can be mixed into the same input file. The output file will list all the Legal Land Conversions first, followed by all the NTS conversions.

Please run a small batch first to ensure proper operation before converting a large batch. This will make everyone happier.

The 'Check Syntax' feature allows you to check your data for suitability before purchasing any credits for conversion.

The input file name must end with a .csv extension.

The input file name cannot start with the 3 letters 'run'. These are reserved for run output.

'ID' is a line number or key you assign. It is normally the key used to re-import the converted data.

One Credit is used for each conversion.

Only converted lines are billed.

Lines that are not converted (ie: errors) are listed in the conversion listing.

There is no charge for syntax checking.

Each run will be assigned a run number.

All filenames related to a run will contain that run number.

The input file is renamed to runXXinput.csv with the XX being replaced with the run number. This prevents the conversion from being re-run and re-billed.

The Upload feature has been tested to 64 Megabytes.

Files are to be uploaded for conversion purposes only. 'Parking' files such as backups, videos, powerpoints or tarballs is not allowed. These 'Parked' files may be deleted immediately.

We may delete any files that are older than 45 days.
