Get them to do a "grep" on the word FEN. Problem solved. :) Will take under 2 seconds. |

"grep 'FEN' <pgnfile > >> <fenfile>" command (if it's just one file), or if numerous files...put them all in one directory, then in the directory use "grep 'FEN' * >> <fenfile>" In windows, I'm sure there's something similar you could do from a DOS prompt (it's just been so long since I looked at DOS I haven'ta clue).

Actually I don't think there is. But you can find several sets of unix tools for Windows, Cygwin is one. It's a good idea if one needs to manipulate text. Mind you, I haven't used Windows for years so I really cannot be more specific. -- Ari Makela no escaping it - [email protected] I must step on fallen leaves http://arska.org/hauva/ to take this path (Suzuki Majoko) |

Cleveland did post this nifty DOS solution on "ccc" Mike ============================================================== If you are running windows, open a dos box, cd to the directory where your file is, and type: find "[FEN" myfile.pgn >fen.txt where myfile.pgn is the name of the pgn file. This should put just the fen lines in fen.txt. Load this file in a word processor, do 2 replace all to get rid of the [FEN " and the "] save it as text and you should have it. =============================================================== |

Any help anyone can provide is greatly > appreciated. Thanks very much. Hey Jeff, Each of the editing solutions posted here should work. If you Bookup 2000 Professional you can import them into an ebook and then export them as EPD which is just the FEN part. Mike Leahy "The Database Man!" www.bookup.com |
