I have a large text file for a kreyol/english dictionary.
I want to convert it into a dict file for a beiks dictionary reader for
Palm.
Beiks has said

My text file looks like this:
*****
abound / gen anpil, abonde
about / apropo, a
about to (do something) / fè sa pou
above / anlè, soutèt
*****
Now, I need to parse this file with a large number of lines and extract
all the chars in front of the '/' and write them to a new file, then put
in a new line. Then throw away the '/', get the rest of the chars and
write that in a second new file, with a new line.
Any hints?
I guess NeoOffice can make an excel file.
