Import VGPS from GPX file

Question

I seem to have lost my "Proposed caches" bookmark list on GC - I can only assume I've deleted it by mistake.

However, I do have a recent GPX file of these generated from a PQ. Would it be possible to import this to a VGPS, which I can then export back to a new bookmark list?

You might get the list of the GC codes and import them into the VGPS.

Answer 1

There is no GPX import support yet. But it can be fairly easily accomplished by a text editor by extracting all lines with the GC-Codes and add those manually into the VGPS. Several at a time can be added, but there is probably some form of limit of how many at a time.

Answer 2

If you run Unix or GNU/Linux or comparable, you can easily extract the names as list with the following command:

sed -n '/<name>\(.*\)<\/name>/s//\1/p' filename.gpx

If you want them all on one line, you can achieve it as follows:

echo $(sed -n '/<name>\(.*\)<\/name>/s//\1/p' filename.gpx)

I just use Windows - I don't do "technical stuff"

I’ve tried to find an online site where it can be done. You could try this: go to http://regexr.com/3dgsd and replace the text in the “Text” part (including the blue stuff) with the content of the GPX file, then in the “Tools” part you have the list of cache waypoint names (initially “foo” and “bar”)
