Fixed Stars

[Ekhazeni]

Hi Yan,
I faced some issues using fixed stars functions. I also downloaded the latest "sefstars.txt" but the result is the same.

1- The two new fixed star functions (swe_fixstar2_ut and swe_fixstar2) are not working at at all.
2- The old functions (swe_fixstar_ut and swe_fixstar) are not working properly.
in

Star=1          'Integer works However a string should be returned by Ref and Star is an integer so it fails
Star=10        

Star="1"        'Works up to 9 
Star="10"      'Doesn't Work
Star="Spica" 'Direct name works!
Star="alVir"  'Doesn't work!
Star=",alVir" 'Doesn't work! 

SWE_Chart.swe_fixstar(STAR, tjd_ut, fxflag, stararray, serr)   

As the original C++ code based on char*, using Sweph32.dll I was using type StringBuilder and it was working fine. Please take a look.

All the best,
Ehsan

Hi,

Sorry I'm working slowly because lot of jobs and familly constraints :)

I found small issues of the portage about the fixed star file parsing. I also detect more complex issues about the sort and the search of the fixed star.

I'm working to fix it asap.

Fixed : https://github.com/ygrenier/SwissEphNet/releases/tag/v2.8.0.2

The package is updated to Nuget gallery.

I created a test class Issue41Test for this work, normally I check all kind of search, but if you can verify this can help me :)

Thanks, regards
