Hi Contro. I believe what you asked is somewhat implemented on Goldendict and also on WordsCatch (ipad)

Thanks Skrommel !!

-kilele (September 12, 2017, 10:28 AM)

I'll take a look.

I continue trying the "operation" of convet the html file into a csv file.
It's not an easy question.

Kindle has implemented the option of revising vocabulary. But I want outside kindle.

My kindle is second hand and seems not to have the option to synchronize with the amazon account. But I have the option to revise vocabulary with the Leitner's system.

In my case and at the present moment.

I am taking advantage of Skrommel's dictionary.exe and after manually with copy/paste I create the quiz in ANKI .

This copy/paste is a way to study itself. Then repeat and repeat and repeat ....

Besides the dictionary.exe gives me an extra option to search words in a new dictionary. I am using in Kindle Wordnet easy and Oxford dictionary.  So is good for learning.

Convert from html to csv (when is not a HTML table) seems a delicate matter and I continue studying.

 

Edited : I adopt also the Word of the Day from dictionary.com , and studying with Duolingo....
 

Edited : I haven't an iPad for the moment so I can't consider WordsCatch.

Some years ago I try hard to recopile tools for phrasing or learning words and derivatives for investigation purposes.

I found some tools in 2014.

GoldenDict - designed as a StarDict successor

An in GoldenDict register I write down :

*** JOSE ***  August 3, 2014 at  3:56pm
      GoldenDict

GoldenDict is a free, feature-rich offline dictionary program for Windows and Linux. It supports multiple dictionary formats, such as Babylon, StarDict, and WordNet. You can also look up words on Wikipedia, Wiktionary, or any other MediaWiki-based websites using GoldenDict. It also supports looking up and listening to pronunciations using the pronunciation guide, forvo.com.

You can lookup words selected in other applications or translate a word from the clipboard using hotkeys.

At the present time the goldendict forum is full of spam.

In 2014 I was using Ultimate Dictionary. Now dictionary.com and dictionary.exe

Living Room / Re: Printer printing fuzzy

« Last post by Contro on September 12, 2017, 11:58 AM »

I know that printer but the problem is that it cannot scan my passport or a credit card or anything like that.

-kalos (September 11, 2017, 05:29 PM)

I had a laser OKI C3530 . Now nothing.
My customers send me photos by email, by whatsapp, etc.
I take sometimes photos with my smartphone "in situ" of the documentation.
If I need a real scanning work I prefer to go to the copy store.
I have made a space and occupied with my famous six monitors.

At the present moment almost everything is digitalized . I almost don't use paper anymore.

For a time I was thinking to buy a powerful sheet scanner, but this is very expensive and I don't need. I sent the works by email to customers. Completely digitalized. I only need contact physically with the custumer or client the first time. I deliver at distance the work.

At the prsent moment I can take photos of my cards or personal documentation and send anywhere by whatsapp or email.

If you only need to make copies of a card or personal identity printer with a manual scanner for about 50 dollars may be enough

Then I think may be of utility the Intelli Web Search free version for searching with Google or other engine.

Close the dictionary/appmute.exe and you should be able to save from pspad again. Obviously the exe is keeping the file opened so no other application can write to it.
If pspad can't do it, then switch to notepad++, it has beter support for such situations, AFAIK.

-Ath (September 10, 2017, 01:24 PM)

I'll do. I am used to PSPAD. I am using notepad++ sometimes....

BTW I need to convert the html file to csv. I thinks is not possible in an automated way. It's not a html table.
I wish to know how to do it using the resulting html.html file

If someone shows me how to form the first line

word ; <meanings>

then I will do the rest !

N.A.N.Y. 2018 / NEAR duplicate filter in lines of a txt file or similar

« Last post by Contro on September 10, 2017, 08:48 AM »

A clever duplicate finder of lines in a txt file.
Suppose you have lines in a text file. Somes are similar but not equal.
Suppose are quotes or wisdom phrases. Each one has an author and a content.
Sometimes the difference is a space, a symbol like "-" , "" itself, a little difference in the phrase finally.

I need a program to detect and logs all these similar phrases and the possibility to delete those lines in an organized way.

As you may supposed the parameters may be one or more. Parameters : The author, the content, the year, the origin, etc......

Post New Requests Here / Re: Manipulate lines in a txt file

« Last post by Contro on September 10, 2017, 07:30 AM »

Perhaps an example would better explain the question?

Input text:

[Select]

Phrase 1. Phrase 2. Phrase 3.
Phrase 4.
Phrase 5. Phrase 6. Phrase 7.

Output Option 1 (Phrase 4 remains since it is the only Phrase in the line):

[Select]

Phrase 2.
Phrase 3.
Phrase 4.
Phrase 6.
Phrase 7.

Output Option 2 (Phrase 4 is removed because it is the first Phrase in the line):

[Select]

Phrase 2.
Phrase 3.
Phrase 6.
Phrase 7.

Which is the preferred output option, 1 or 2?

-4wd (September 07, 2017, 09:26 PM)

The phrase 4 must be removed.
I have assumed that the input text is the result of the first process of the phrases.
So I have control of that phrase and I don't need that phrase anymore.

When a line have only one phrase we can remove that line because I have processed that phrase previously.

Best Regards

- What should happen if a line in the file has only 1 period in it. Should that line be removed, or should it remain in the output?

Try Dictionary! It looks up a list of words on Dictionary.com.

Add new words to the text file, the default is words.txt, and the definitions are downloaded from Dictionary.com and saved to html.html.
