Converter? #166

Closed zvezdochiot closed 2 years ago

zvezdochiot commented 2 years ago

Hi @zsiki .

Maybe add a "Converter" utility to convert files without loading into the base module? Place next to ComEasy?

It would be a very convenient and more efficient use of the existing code.

New command line switch can solve it. Adding the new --exp format to the command line together with --nogui switch will be my answer to this issue. For example to convert coordinates from geo format to csv use the following command: ./geo_easy.tcl --nogui --exp csv --log stderr demodata/*.geo

--nogui redirects GUI messages to log file and exit GeoEasy after processing the command line --exp format exports the files given in the command line to the format in the same directory (geo, are, job, wld, gsi, scr,sdr,210, nik,csv,itr, txt, gpx, dmp, kml, sql, and dxf formats are supported --log stderr redirects log messages to the standard error demodata/*.geo input files to convert

Note: in case of dxf input files the texts from any layer will be converted into point, th point ID will be the text and the point code will be the DXF layer name. Double texts will be skipped without warnings.

Note: on Windows you cannot use wildcards in file names

Hi @zsiki .

Excellent! It is advisable to update man.

PS: I will leave the issue open for updating the documentation.
