3) Extracting API/UWI from file name
Q)   We have a large number of LAS files where the file names include the well API number but where the API number is not included in the file itself. Can this be fixed?

A)   Extracting the well API/UWI from the file name and placing that information into the LAS header can be done by going to the LasApps menu item "More Tools/Other/Modify LAS Header" and selecting the radio button "Get API number from file name and put in LAS header"

3) Problem viewing LAS files in NotePad
Q)   Some LAS files appear wrapped when viewed in NotePad while the file claimes it is not. Is this an error and if so where?

A)   NotePad has an option under its menu item 'Format/Word Wrap' that when checked will wrap the file to the size of the NotePad window. This option must be left unchecked to view LAS files correctly. Please note that NotePad will automaticly wrap lines longer than 1000 characters regardless of the 'Format/Word Wrap' setting. The better option to view LAS files is the WordPad software with a checkmark in its menu item 'View/Word wrap/No Wrap'. The other option is to use the text viewer located in LasAppsPro under the menu item 'View/Text viewer for LAS files'.
