Seems to have worked like a charm! Thanks a ton. I owe you a steak. :D I put in all the station names and adjusted the date range. I still have to go through it all and separate the maxvalues into the...

All the relevant files look the same, the only difference being the filename after "filename=" and before ".txt.gz"... w3.ndbc.noaa.gov/view_text_file.php?filename=21346t2013.txt.gz&dir=data/histo...

Post: RE: How to automate list separation. NOOB

I'll see what I can do, but I have a feeling that that won't be as straightforward as it seems. There are many international agencies and private companies which contribute to that data so I'm not sur...

Post: RE: How to automate list separation. NOOB

With 4000 buoys, every step I can save would be worthwhile. I appreciate your advice on automating the entire process, but I did just want to simplify the procedure a bit. I'm pretty sure that that le...

Post: RE: How to automate list separation. NOOB

I've done all that for you: I gave you examples of some of the codes I've used; I showed you a sample of the data; I've explained everything above. Getting the 2nd max was just to eliminate the 9999.0...

Post: How to automate list separation. NOOB

Good day. I just installed my 1st Python IDE (IDLE) in order to find the max, 2nd max, and min values from a data set. The problem is that the enormous data set text files I copy/paste from have dates...
