Software / Anyone Got A Working Wiki2bedic.pl

« on: March 14, 2005, 05:51:44 pm »

Thanks so much rafm, I'm converting the English file of February the ninth. I hope it will work.

I've noticed something though : apparently, the new dumps (from 2005/03/09 ) are not compatible with wiki2bedic.pl, either bunzipped or not, which would imply a slight change in the sql format wikimedia uses.

Cheers
Yannick

While I'm at it, is zbedic able to display pictures (meaning, do I have to bother with the images and the LaTeX things?)  ?

Thanks
Yannick

Hi,
thanks for your help :-) Yeah, 28 megs sounds like a revolutionary compression. Maybe we should patent it? arg, no, forget it
Here is where I downloaded the dump :

The script I'm using is the following :

Thanks soo much

Hi,
I've used the wiki2bedic.pl script (it took 10 hours on the English Wikipedia) and I get a bedic.dic file of 1.3 GB
When I do xerox -d bedic.dic bedic2.dic it works, no errors...
But the resulting file is about 28 MB large.
I'm using the libbbedic version 0.91 with the dictionary.cpp patch.
The 0.94 doesn't compile with the dictionary.cpp patch, and unpatched it will work with the same 28MB file as before...

Any suggestions?

Cheers
Yannick
