Typical usage?

[fatso83]

Hi, Peter.

I was thinking we could use this, but I am not totally sure I understand how I could use this for a typical use case. I was browsing the fine Doxygen docs, but the kind of generic approach with regards to "get second field", "get third field", etc. threw me a bit off. I was not sure how to use this for a practical purpose, so I ended up just writing a simple parser for my own needs a la this:

def parse_flight_plan(msg) -> FlightPlan:
    """
    Example flight plan as ICAO OLDI message

    (FPL-DEP199-IS
    -01DH8B/M-SDFGHIRXWY/S
    -ENTO1200
    -N0200F220 DCT BAMIX DCT LULIL DCT GIGNI DCT VEVOD
    -ENVA0145
    -PBN/B2B3B4D2D3S2 REG/AA0008 CODE/000010)
    """
    fields = [field.strip() for field in (msg.split("-"))]

    return FlightPlan(
        acid=fields[1],
        type_of_flight=fields[2][1],
        flight_rules=fields[2][0],
        aircraft_type=fields[3].split("/")[0],
        wake_turbulence_category=fields[3].split("/")[1],
        nca_equipment=fields[4].split("/")[0],
        ssr_equipment=fields[4].split("/")[1],
        adep=fields[5][0:4],
        eobt=fields[5][4:],
        route=fields[6],
        ades=fields[7][0:4],
        etot=fields[7][4:],
        other_information=fields[8][:-1],
    )

How would something like this look using your library? I am not asking for full code, just a hint as to how the library would be used to achieve something similar.

Hi Carl, I'm not sure what you're asking me. I assume you're looking at the ICAO-ATS-and-OLDI-Message-Parser ( https://github.com/pventon/ICAO-ATS-and-OLDI-Message-Parser). This page provides instructions on usage. It returns a class with methods to access the fields. Once you have the class with the various fields it would be easy to process these as you wish. Sorry I cannot be of more help at the moment. Peter
