If your file has additional variables these will be ignored.

It will only process the variables in the INI file.

There is no processing to remove this duplicate

Some data (like cadence in this example) is duplicated as it also appears in the block.

I think some form of recursion will be required and I have always struggled with that This will be an interesting programming challenge to better handle XML type files. I suspect it will fail when TCX files alternatively formatted are passed to it.

The way I have written it is not at all good and assumes all files look and are formatted exactly like this file.

If this is not the case then the conversion will abort. There are some assumptions and limitations This process is used throughout the program

So if your file has a different text either side of the data required these INI file settings can be edited The program searches each line between these two variables and extracts Biking So that the program can detect this it has a variable called TCX_Activity which equals I want to extract Biking and so this is preceded by The type of activity in the TCX file is 'Biking' and is recorded in the file as follows:

Value_Extensions_end= Here it is clear the each entry in the TCX file (either as an activity header or data value) has a matching INI file category.

Open tcxconverter.ini and you will see the following: Press the 'Import TCX File' button (or use File/Import TCX File) This is the main window, pretty simple really. Here's the program (which is available to download, see further in the post). However I needed to read the TCX file that the Veloreality creates into Excel, so I wrote a small (Windows) program to do this (note that initially I manually uploaded the data into Strava and then used my other program ( Strava Data Analysis) to get the data - however this means that I need to upload 2 identical rides and this obviously screws up the annual statistics). I used my Garmin for the 4iiii data and logged the Tacx data in a TCX format using a PC based trainer application - VeloReality ( Veloreality). To do this I obviously needed to log the power data into 2 acquisition systems as a Garmin will only record 1 power meter at a time. In the post here: Power Meter Comparison, I showed some data comparing power from my Tacx Smart Turbo Trainer and a 4iiii crank arm power meter. FIT file converter here: Fit File Converter.
