hi
I hope u guys can help me
i own TTmobile5 and as far as i know there still is no way to get more than 40 user poi catatogaries on disk
so i have to use combined files e.g.
fast food restaurants contains
Macdonald
Burger king
Kfc...
poihandeler.com gives me the option to download each file separatly or as one big file
since ttmobile5 is limited i have to download the cabined files.
the only problem is, when i want to go to get some, say, "fast food" the discretion is only a address with no name, (they never bothered to rename the files before combining them) so i don't know if I'm going to burger king,, or wimpy 8O
i need a program, to batch rename all the files in a category
so i could download say kfc and add its name before the address for each poi in that category ,, then i would combine them all.
u know it would suck to rename abt 5000 pio's by hand
lastly, i would like to thank everyone over at pocket gps world & all u foum users for sharing ur knowledge and free help over the years

I actually use Word to add Text as you describe.
First you need to Convert the OV2 File to a Text File. I use Dumpov2.exe, and this produces a .ASC File. I change the extension to .CSV as it seems to work better, I don't know why.
Then in your example I Right Click the File in Explorer and choose Open With .... > Word. I then delete the Header and Footer Lines that start with a ';'
Press 'Ctrl' + H brings up the Replace Box. Type- , " -in the Find Box (that is comma/space/double quote) and Type- , "KFC - -in the Replace With Box. That is comma/space/double quote/KFC/space/-/space.
This will insert 'KFC - ' at the start of every Description in the File.
Click Save Icon and answer Yes to the question about 'losing formatting' to Save Unformatted. _________________ Richard
