Help Correcting Year 2016 to 2015

[palerider]

I assume there must be some way to just delete those 2016 entries in both programs, although not sure how, but my first choice of course would be to correct the dates, either directly within SleepyHead and ResScan, or globally changing the raw backup data saved to my computer.

you can, in sleepyhead, go to a day, and hit the data menu item, and somewhere in there, depending on your version, there's a menu item to delete that days data in sleepyhead.

changing the dates on sleepyhead records is going to be much more involved, I don't know what is involved in that.

I'll pm you about sending a note to Mark.

Unfortunately, however I let a month go by before I did it, so now I have about a month's worth of entries in both programs that are off by a year and my averages are off, and each program jumps to the 2016 entries when opened, thinking they are the most recent.

Now at least you know what you have to look forward to.

Since you're on a Mac can't you try a command like "mv /Resmed/Datalog/2016* /Resmed/Datalog/2015* "?
I don't know if the file stores the date internally or the filename is used as the date encoder.

You might point Mark to this thread and ask him if he thinks it is possible to modify those other files.
He has worked a lot more with these files than most of us had and maybe he has an idea.
Palerider seems to chat with Mark often on some sort of chat thing...maybe if you joined them there you could pick his brain about your problem.

Good suggestions. I thank you!

Best wishes, Nate

Yes, I believe I explained what I did in detail in my post above at:

and from which I concluded that the date is stored both internally within the files and in the filename. The global name change I did in the Yosemite Finder altered the filenames but the error in the year nonetheless persists on import; hence the need to modify within as well.

Sorry! I guess I was having a senior moment and didn't see that in your previous post. My Bad!

No problem! Some days, all my moments feel like they're senior ones.
