HELP: Load ASCII Delimited GeoReport File
By Bedding Thickness

This example contains a Measured Section done in Riley County, Kansas. Only the bedding thickness is available for each layer and is placed at the end of the description in parenthesis, e.g. "Shale, gray, red zone near top (10.8 )".

The Bedding thickness parse engine assumes that the line can be divided in two strings. In this example the parenthesis is the unique delimiter separating the text from the bedding description.

The program will separate the text from the bedding thickness using the delimiter '('. Using the example above,

"Shale, gray, red zone near top", "10.8 )"

The parse engine will determine which is the bedding description and which is the bedding thickness. The bedding thickness is then cleaned of any other non numeric characters leaving the number, e.g. 10.8.

The parse engine adds the thickness to the cumilative total depth and sets the starting depth and ending depth of the bed.
