Batch convert TXT to PalmDOC (PDB) and back #
txt2pdbdoc "is a Unix-based Text-to-Doc file conversion program". I have compiled it for Windows using Cygwin: txt2pdbdoc.7z.*
Usage:
C:\>txt2pdbdoc.exe [options] document_name file.txt file.pdb
Batch conversion:
C:\>for %f in (*.txt) do (txt2pdbdoc.exe %~nf %f %~nf.pdb)
- The batch conversion can be made recursive by adding
/r to the for command.
%~nf = filename without extension- If you do not have Cygwin installed, cygwin1.dll (included) must be in the same directory as txt2pdbdoc.exe (or in your PATH)
- PalmDOC files can be converted back to TXT with the
-d option.
- Converting TXT to PalmDOC on other platforms:
- iSilo can open PalmDOC files on just about any consumer platform
* If you prefer compiling your own binary from source under Windows:
- Download and unzip txt2pdbdoc
- Install Cygwin with dev tools
- Run Cygwin and cd to txt2pdbdoc-master directory extracted in step 0
- $
autoreconf -fiv
- $
./configure
- $
make
- txt2pdbdoc.exe will be created in the txt2pdbdoc-master\src directory
