Class OasisFileCoallator

  org.mbari.oasis.OasisFileCoallator

public class OasisFileCoallator

extends java.lang.Object

Combine files created by Bob Herlein's extract program into a single data file. This version replaces CoallateOasisFiles and can be called as a static method. This class is designed to read a directory contianing files using 'yyddd' or 'yyyyddd' naming schemes and combine them into a single file. It grabs the header of the first file in the sequence and adds it to the output file. The file created with this should contain identical data as the source files with the exception that a column of years is added as the last column of the data file.
