Recomended tsv and csv editors to use with firetongue #16

Closed Tembac closed 9 years ago

Tembac commented 9 years ago

Firetongue seems to be very useful but I didn't find an editor that exports Csv or Tsv on the correct format that it needs.

Ms Excel and Drive spreadsheets have the possibility to export csv but the format is no the required by firetongue.

The closer was LibreOffice calc that gives you several options when you are exporting the csv but it is not exactly as required because it is missing the commas at the end lines.

Do you have any advice or list of software that can be used to edit the csv for firetongue?

This seems like an oversight on my part -- I'm used to crafting them with Notepad++!

It seems logical that I should be able to support something that is easy to export from Excel and LibreOffice. Let me do some quick investigations and see if I can make the formats a little more flexible.

Done. Let me know what you think of the updated readme.

I've dropped the requirement to put a trailing tab or comma before each endline, though the old format should still work.

We recommend you stick with TSV files, and I've included instructions (with pictures!) for generating firetongue-compliant TSV files from both Microsoft Excel and LibreOffice Calc.

Thanks! This is very helpfull!

I updated the library from github and followed the instructions for LibreOffice but I still had to add tabs at the end lines with notepad++ for it to work fine. Maybe it takes time to update?

Perhaps I haven't fully tested it yest. What results did you get? Can you show me the files you were using?

Sorry. The problem was here. I removed the library and installed again from github. Now it works fine.

Thanks!
