This function converts w80-files, an asci-format with 80 characters per line for spatial point data used by the German Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV). Every single row codes for one point:

|_1_|2_|_3______|4|____________5______________|_______6_______|_____7___|_8_|

W0701 55 2594611 1330938065557502425901108035 5795591108035 Bu.15 01

W0701 57 2594611 7330932961457502484041108035 5538181108035 Bu.15 01

Within each row very specific sections code for specific attributes:

section column(s) attribute column name in result
1 1 state id, here W=WSV sid
1 2-5 Federal Waterway ID fwid
2 6-8 WSV point type wsvpt
3 9 blank -
3 10-15 river station (km) station
4 16 bank: 1 left, 2 right bank
4 17-20 continuous id id
5 21-30 easting in GK-coordinates x
5 31-40 northing in GK-coordinates y
6 41-46 datum of measurement date_coor
6 47 accuracy acc_coor
6 48-54 elevation z
6 55-60 date of the elevation measurement date_z
6 61 accuracy of the elevation measurement acc_z
6 62-64 type of measurement tom
7 65-84 comment comment
8 85-86 point status status
