[EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Problem in converting a csv/txt file in an epw file

["academicryan" <azianzheep@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Electra,

I have the same problem. This is how I get around it.

1) Open the .csv file in Notepad.
2) Open the original .epw file in Notepad.
3) copy the top 8 lines from the original .epw file.
4) paste and replace the top 8 lines of the .csv file.
5) For the .csv file, while still in Notepad, Save As xxxxxxx.epw (make sure you type in .epw)
6) Your new .epw weather is complete. 

Cheers

Ryan

I selected the csv file to convert but it didn¢t be accepted and it said that the "custom file types must have associated .def file". So I convert the csv to a txt in order to convert the txt to epw. I run the file and it says that "occurred in processing". Can somebody please help me with what I am doing wrong? I haven't changed anything, so how can errors exist? I inserted exactly the same file :(
