findCloseAR
Description
findCloseAR is a command-line utility that searches through multiple Angular Response (AR) files to find AR records that are geographically close to a given list of sample station coordinates. It takes a list of sample locations (latitude/longitude) and a search radius, then identifies AR records falling within that radius. The primary output is a file detailing which AR records (file number, record number, side) are close to each sample station.
Usage
findCloseAR [OPTIONS] -samples <sample_file> -radius <meters> -arnames <ar_list_file>
Arguments
| Option | Description | Default / Example |
|---|---|---|
-v | Enable verbose output. | |
-samples <sample_file> | Required. An ASCII file containing sample station coordinates and possibly other geological parameters. The tool expects latitude and longitude as the first two values per line. | geological_samples.txt |
-radius <meters> | Specifies the search radius (in meters) around each sample station. AR records within this radius are considered “close”. | 100.0 |
-arnames <ar_list_file> | Required. An ASCII file listing the paths to all Angular Response (AR) files to be searched. | list_of_AR_files.txt |
