Hmm… posting perlcode didnt work all that well… so here we go again:

for my $base (@ARGV) {
$base =~ s/\.idx$//i;
unless (open IDX, “<”, “$base.idx”) {
warn “Couldn’t open $base.idx: $!\n”;
next;
}
open AOI, “>”, “$base.aoi”;
open WRD, “>”, “$base.wrd”;
my $fpos = 0;
my $data;
while (read IDX, $data, 1) {
if ($data eq “\x00″) {
print AOI pack “N”, $fpos;
print WRD “\r\n”;
read IDX, $data, 8;
$fpos = tell IDX;
}
else {
print WRD $data;
}
}
}

Searched a bit and found some info, so I wrote a small perl-script for converting idx to aoi and wrd. Guess it should work on any platform that has perl.

for my $base (@ARGV) {
$base =~ s/\.idx$//i;
unless (open IDX, “”, “$base.aoi”;
open WRD, “>”, “$base.wrd”;
my $fpos = 0;
my $data;
while (read IDX, $data, 1) {
if ($data eq “\x00″) {
print AOI pack “N”, $fpos;
print WRD “\r\n”;
read IDX, $data, 8;
$fpos = tell IDX;
}
else {
print WRD $data;
}
}
}

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I tried very hard to find a spanish dictionary for my nds and I’m so happy that I found this useful tip. I works like a charm!

Sorry I haven’t been able to get back to some of you. I’m currently out of the country, and away from my computer. As soon as I have access to a decent computer, I’ll try to help as best as possible.
