Re: [Scid-users] Script to get PGN files

Hi
Thanks a lot! Now I've had the chance to try this import.tcl version out, and for the intended purpose it works like a charm!
I also tried to see what happens if you try to open a zipped PGN-file directly with this version of scid - it's no catastophy, but it's certainly not good! But the again that was not the intended use. It might be smart to prevent Scid from trying to do something really foolish, but then again there's no law against thinking for yourself!

The one thing I haven't tried, and that might be a real problem is the behaviour towards a ZIP-file which does not contain a PGN-file, a ZIP-file which contains more than one PGN-files or a ZIP-file which contains a PGN-file together with one or more other files (CB-generated PGN-files are accompanied by rather useless INI-files for instance).

But for the intended purpose zipped TWIC-files (and zipped ChessToday monthly databases) it works perfectly!

Hi
In my opinion, TWIC is much more than just the - very nice - downloadable
games! I think there are two ways to improve Scid's handling of these
(games).
1. I would be helpful if Scid acquired the ability to import zipped
pgn-files (that is not easily accomplished, but might be possible)


I've attached a modified version of import.tcl from 4.2.2 that should do
what you want, assuming you are running Linux, you have unzip somewhere
in your path and /tmp/ exists and is writeable. Would you be able to
test this and see if this is want you want?
