Thanks, Steven, I stumbled upon what you're suggesting yesterday evening:
> In the file tcl/search/header.tcl, changing the only occurence of B50-B59 to > B60-B69 is all that's needed i think. Indeed. Now, how should I proceed? *** > This looks to be a free form list, so you can probably add any elements you > like as long as you are careful with the tcl syntax. Of course you can just > input the codes directly too. I suppose that means recompiling Scid, right? Since this is a simple Tcl file, it might be worthwhile to make it work like the scid.eco file. *** > Using the "Add to filter" option and perform multiple searches should work. Yes, but it becomes impractical quite fast. Just imagine you play 1.e4 and just want specific lines... A one-click-solution is what I need here. *** Or perhaps a one-liner? Seems that Scid's SF's source comes with Python and Tcl scripts. I looked into spliteco.tcl and it might be what I need. Either I tweaked that or wrap it in a batch file. After copying the scripts to scid\scripts, I could run this from the scid\bin file (I'm on Windows right now): > tcscid.exe ..\scripts\spliteco.tcl -v \work\scid\Caruana 50 There are three parameters for spliteco: 5 for A-E, 50 for A0-E9 and 500 for A00-E99. Then all I need is to merge the databases I need and remove the others. *** The use of these scripts should become a tip. The pgnscid binary should also be advertized: with a simple batch file, this works magic! *** Since I surmise you are a nostalgic, Steven, I will disclose that I followed this remark from Shane: > The sc_import script (and others in the scripts directory in the Scid source > distribution) uses tcscid. You can use them directly from the command line in > Unix, but in Windows you'd need to do something like "tcscid.exe > scripts/sc_import.tcl mydatabase newfile.pgn" http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=scid-users&max_rows=25&style=nested&viewmonth=200204 *** Thanks again, Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
