Mapper.xml not working on non-english log files

[highlander]

first of all sorry if my english is not very good, because i m french hehe
i did a search about inkscape, and it s been 2 days that i m trying to make a map with no success.
i downloaded everything, mapper.XML, perl, inkscape, i did my logfile, and i can t get a usefull .svg file.

here is what i get:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1"></svg>

i m not very good at XML so i can t debug it myself but i can clearely see that the script actualy bypass all my logfile

here is the begining of my logfile suposed to be used for the .svg :

i get absolutely no error msg, everything seems to work very well exept the fact that i don t get a single line in the end

The log parser was made for the english-language logs. When you point it to your french-language log file, it has no clue what it's looking at. It's just a computer, after all.

Try this:

Open the log file with a text editor. Search for Votre position est and replace with Your location is

Then search for Votre orientation est and replace with Your orientation is

That should let the script parse the log correctly.

oh god i m a noob i didn t even notice my logs where in french lol
thx, i m trying this right now

I will update my HowTo to reflect what the parcer is looking for.

hmm it s still not working with this as my logfile:

the weird thing is that it doesn t even seem to execute this line :

my $startline = "<polyline fill=\"none\" stroke=\"black\" ...

it s not even a problem of interpreting, it s just that it seems to bypass it

Ok, now the problem is that the pattern the code is trying to match is probably something like:
Your location is [-]NNN.NN, [-]NNN.NN, [-]NNN.NN

And your log file has commas where the pattern is expecting periods.
