Yes that sorted it, thanks

V0.4.1a

SigInt

Added a Type field to separate Actor into Type and Actor. If Actor begins with a Ship Type, this is moved to Type. Using the same logic from the Combat Report, if the Ship Type that begins Actor is followed by a "-", then the Ship Type is not subtracted from the beginning of Actor. This avoids stripping the "PT" off of the name "PT-73", for instance. Added the Type field to the SigInt report, along with a sort button for it.

Combat Report

The Battle tab is now implemented. The Battle tab shows the combat report segment for one battle at a time. Presently the battle can be searched by Battle Number, the six-digit number assigned to each battle when the combat report is read in. You can forego typing the leading zeros in the search field. Notice that on other tabs in the Basic Combat Report, the Battle Number is listed for each record. You may also move forward and backward through the listing of battles by using the "Previous Battle" and "Next Battle" buttons.

Batch Files

Beginning with this version, there are batch file (.bat) included for each (player) version of Intel Monkey. These run Intel Monkey, and then have a 'pause' statement. This will allow you to see any error messages that might crop up. I recommend that you have your shortcuts refer to those .bat files instead of directly to the .py files.

Changing an exiting shortcut is very easy. Select it, then right-click on it and click on "properties" (which is at the bottom). You should see the cursor is already in the "Target" field, sort of in the upper middle of the window that opens. Press the "End" key to go all the way to the end of the field. then just change ".py" to be ".bat". Since the bat files have the exact same names as the Python files that small change will point the shortcuts to the right place.

Massiev developments her, thanks for all of this.
Two questions/suggestions....

Can a search ONLY show what you have searched for? On some screens it seems to juts put the records that fit the criteria at the top....

Is it possible to say search for battles that took place at a specifi location and show the set of them?

So, with the current early implementation, to see something in a group, first click on a sort button that will group it that way, then search for it. As an example, if you want to see all the SigInt for Hanoi you first sort by "Target/Date", then search on Hanoi. That technique will work for anything that is first on a "Sort by..." button in any of those three screens (SigInt, Ships, LCUs).

I think that might have cleared up the first question, which seems to be about current function?

quote:

The current Battles implementation is a little bit different. It only shows one battle at a time, searching by Battle Number or by advancing "Previous" or "Next". I do indeed want to implement the sort of query you describe. I've been planning to get the data into a database that will support more complex queries, not to mention stop reading in all the files in the archive folder every time the program runs! The current displays are intended to be totally re-worked, so that instead of a series of text lines they are actually data fields displayed.

So, it will take a bit of doing and the only question is should we do an early version of that function or what until more things are re-worked internally? That also includes getting the other basic functions running (combat report tabs for Troop and Aircraft, plus operations report and combat events) so I know what their data looks like.

That's a mouthful but it's just to convey the big picture that I have in in mind. I would like to hear your opinion about short term versus long term functionality. For example which would that sort of Battles report (grouped by location) fall into? What other short term stuff seems important?

I'm replying to Roger, but I'm really seeking everybody's input too.

Hi Witpqs,

1st let me say how grateful I am that you have built this tool. I went out and bought a book on Java just so I could start analyzing the intel reports. An then a week later Intel Monkey comes out.. sweet!

So I'm just trying it for the 1st time today. I was surprised to see that the 'E' boat "astern Army" was spending all of it's time in Tokyo.

1942-03-04 E astern Army - - is located at Tokyo 114,60
1942-04-03 E astern Army - - is located at Tokyo 114,60
1942-04-16 E astern Army - - is located at Tokyo 114,60
1942-05-05 E astern Army - - is located at Tokyo 114,60
1942-05-21 E astern Army - - is located at Tokyo 114,60
1942-05-30 E astern Army - - is located at Tokyo 114,60
1942-06-04 E astern Army - - is located at Tokyo 114,60
1942-07-06 E astern Army - - is located at Tokyo 114,60

Must be the Navy equivalent of a hanger queen. I guess any boat that only goes backward and is operated by the Army is an oxymoron.

Cheers,
Guy javascript:void(AddText(''))

Look at the previous post. See the first line?

The actor is "a W-17 class DMS is".

The rest of it - moving to, Georgetown, hex # - is fine. But the actor part is rough.

What's the best way to handle that? My first thought is:
- Catch the ship type (DMS) and put it in the Type column.
- Make the Actor column blank so it will sort differently than specific named ships.
- Put the class in the Optional #1 column (in this example as "W-17 class").

What do you think?

Good Evening,

In my humble opinion the output should be like:

Date DMS W-17 Class is - - moving to Georgetown

Which would involve parsing the "W-17 Class" as the actor. All that class would sort together and superb human eye would do the rest of the correlation required.

Good Morning Witpqs,

Downloaded the most recent version at 0932 CDT. I extracted over the top of the previous install.

1942-03-04 E astern Army - - is located at Tokyo 114,60
1942-02-03 E iko-wan Fortress - - is located at Genzan 105,48

On this record it would be useful to recognize that there are two actors, double the record and parse it both ways.

1942-03-28 - 14th Shipping Engineer Regiment is loaded on xAK Hokumai Maru moving to Port Moresby -

For this record the 2nd actor is a generic so there would be no need to double the records. HOWEVER it would be very difficult to encode a set of rules that would reliably tell the difference between a generic and actual actor. Since having actor/actor records doubled would be very handy it is most likely worth the small cost of doubling the actor/generic records.

1942-06-11 - 16th Recon Regiment is loaded on a Japanese xAK moving to Manila -

This bunch of records calls out for a more sophisticated parsing but the correct approach is not obvious.

1942-02-15 - a Aden Cargo class xAK is - - moving to Ominato 119,54
1942-05-10 - a Ansyu xPB class PB is - - moving to Truk 112,108

1942-06-12 - a Japanese AM - - is located at Lunga 114,138

1942-02-12 - a Japanese LB is - - moving to Lae 99,126

1942-02-27 - a Shokaku class CV is - - moving to Sabang 44,70
1942-07-06 - a Std-F Cargo class xAKL is - - moving to Osaka/Kyoto 109,59

1942-04-18 - a Yusen A Cargo class xAK is - - moving to Hirosaki/Aomori 118,54
