Generalization of PraatIO to open all kind of ooTextFile

Hello Tim Based in my previous excellent experience solving my issue, I want to expose an idea

I would like to know your opinion about a posible generalisation of PraatIO Praat uses his own programming language and his own file format. I think PraatIO could include a converter to Javascript of his own file format ooTextFile For example if you want to exports Formats, you get a similar file format as TextGrids.

Maybe could be interesting to expand parseTextGrid to other kind of ooTextFile file format

header of .TextGrid

File type = "ooTextFile"
Object class = "TextGrid"

xmin = 0 
xmax = 3118.9278684807255 
tiers? <exists> 
size = 1 
item []: 
    item [1]:
        class = "IntervalTier"

header of .Formats

File type = "ooTextFile"
Object class = "Formant 2"

xmin = 0 
xmax = 1.5270521541950113 
nx = 237 
dx = 0.00625 
x1 = 0.026026077097505596 
maxnFormants = 5 
frames []: 
    frames [1]:

header of .Matrix

File type = "ooTextFile"
Object class = "Matrix 2"

xmin = 0 
xmax = 3.4339909297052156 
nx = 542 
dx = 0.00625 
x1 = 0.026370464852607745 
ymin = 1 
ymax = 1 
ny = 1 
dy = 1 
y1 = 1 
z [] []: 
    z [1]:
        z [1] [1] = 686.944363934466 
        z [1] [2] = 652.149122145149

I understand that this could be a lot of work for you. I could try by myself and give to you a proposal of a function parse_ooTextFile if you prefer.

What do you think?

I attach a couple of examples of ooTextFiles example.Formant.zip example.Matrix.zip
