#17887 Macro request...

Posted by TaSwavo on 19 July 2013 - 05:21 PM

would you be interested in a post-process that coverts based upon the english dictionary and some common rules?

I've been thinking of writing something to do this for a while - to include in my C# modules builder project. I am a programmer for my job (usually in c++) and love to work with the extra speed c# gives me in achieving my aims.

 

For example if you text reads "and so the faints shall be granted access to heaven" then it should know faints is a verb and so 'the faints' is probably wrong.

 

tbh - I think this would need to be user decisicion

 

it would pop up the text and as you to decide - but it could find the obvious ones and fix then (with a log) and prompt you for the others.

 

It's not a small task (I expect) but one I have thought about before.

 

If you'd like to pm me a sample (of your errant processed file) or even a jpg (or whatever) can use ABBY Finereader 9.0 on - I'd LOVE to work on this - no guarantees, when I reach a limit I usually know...

 

as Josh says - it's VERY difficult to say when an F is an S but if we can do it when reading --- it's probably possible most of the time. And the other times we can pop up. I'll look into it.




#16662 I LOVE the content but the search engine is practically useless

I see though from your example that it can work and is working for you.

 

That is weird - I just tried it again and it got weirder. I still have it saying no matches if no caps (brian armour). But if capitalised (Brian Armour) it matches. Then if I try no caps - it works.

 

How odd. Must be something in my browser I have weirdly setup.

 

It's clearly an issue at my end - so apologies for pointing the finger to your website. I've just not experienced it elsewhere before.

The reason I wanted to view it is related to my other post - i.e. to view which books the apocrypha counted as. You answered that query - so thanks very much :)




#16497 Writing a tool to assist compiling modules and need advice

Posted by TaSwavo on 07 April 2013 - 05:07 AM

I'm not outputting an rtf-header, just straight forward text. Obviously there are the rtf-like controls that allow colour alteration, paragraphing, superscript, etc. But no header.

 

I'm not sure what you mean by the e-Sword header because all I'm doing at present is creating and filling the Bible and Details tables and creating an index. Just straight-forward database stuff really.

At current I'm writing in v9 style (i.e. text) and not using blob data - is that Mr Meyer's way of protecting the file data? Or is that a feature of v10?




#16493 Writing a tool to assist compiling modules and need advice

I remember in the old days helping with Tooltip development

I'm writing something to replicate BeST and then add features to (already ANY input format seems fine except the one I mentioned).

Then I can move on and add more.

 

The difference is, I think open code. I could be wrong here - not sure if tooltip code is available or not.

 

Once written I'll put it on free access so if I go awol - or if people want to alter it - they can alter it as the code is there, not just the program.

 

I'm primarily writing it for me - to replace BeST as I'm scanning NEB and converting (with footnotes as a cmtx hoepefully) for my own use.

 

Many users used to use BeST and if folks use other things I may well ask for their advice later - if this proves useful for others besides just me :)




#16491 Writing a tool to assist compiling modules and need advice

Posted by TaSwavo on 06 April 2013 - 05:14 PM

[edit]sorry I put this in the wrong place maybe - should it be in tools? as the question is for people who MAKE modules

 

 

As BeST is no longer supported and doesn't work on my new computer I've decided to write something which can do the same thing which I will then make open source so we don't end up with an unsupported thing people can't use.

 

I've already started to make improvements even though I've hardly started (no need presently to say what format the lines are in as I use a regular expression - which I could, in theory, allow a user to alter).

 

My question is

Did people really use the formats where verses could start with a newline in what I would call the header?

For example

 

Gen 1

2 the earth was without form and void, with darkness over the face of the abyss, and a mighty wind that swept{\cf6\super b} over the surface of the waters.

or anything like

 

Gen 2:1

the earth was without form and void, with darkness over the face of the abyss, and a mighty wind that swept{\cf6\super b} over the surface of the waters.

 

I think my code would cover the second case but not the first - as the book/chapter/verse are on different lines.

I can write code to cover this but...

It would make my life easier - i.e. I could move on from making Bibles to the other types and even conversions

But if people really needed

Gen 1

2 the earth was without form and void, with darkness over the face of the abyss, and a mighty wind that swept{\cf6\super b} over the surface of the waters.

 

I'll work on that - as I really want to deal with things one step at a time
