Here is an EDIF.y parser written a few years ago by [EMAIL PROTECTED] ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume1/8712/edif It's just a parser, you have to fill in what you want to do when it finds something, but a good start...Yikes there are alot of symbols. Edif is big and I would say not supported by most PCB packages. > I started an EDIF parser once but I lost interest, > an example file might be good enough to get started. > I found you can usually get pretty close without a > spec. > > Instead of dealing with EDIF you might consider a netlist > translator from OrCad to KiCAD like the one I just submitted > for PCB123 to KiCad: > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1794790&group_id=145591&atid=762479 > Most Netlists are human readable, ASCII with a simple syntax. > > One good feature of KiCad is it's open source and the whole > database is ASCII which make the KiCad end of any translation easier. > > cheers, > Frank Bennett > > > > > > I have a copy of the spec, yes that is what I paid.
