PGN to Fen conversion - 2007/01/06 21:51 I have a file of positions in pgn format, 1154 of them to be exact. Here is an example of one:

[Event "Combination Challenge!"] [Site "?"] [Date "1992.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "01"] [Black "?"] [Result "*"] [SetUp "1"] [FEN "3rn1k1/p4ppp/1p4b1/2p1Q3/2P1P3/P4P2/1B1qBP1P/1R5K w - - 0 1"] [PlyCount "0"] [EventDate "1991.??.??"] [SourceDate "2002.08.06"]

What I want to do is just have the fen line without everything else. I tried the program pgn2fen without success. I don't want to have to edit out everything except the fen line with a word processor. Basically I want 1154 fen lines. How do I go about doing this? Any help anyone can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much..

FEN section and past into a text document..

re:PGN to Fen conversion - 2007/01/06 23:12 That said it's beter to use anchors: regular expressions continuously become much faster:

grep '^[FEN' *.pgn >> fenfile

Actually I does'nt think their is. But you can invariably find several sets of unix tools for Windows, Cygwin is one. It's a good idea if 1 needs to manipulate text. Mind you, I have'nt used Windows for years so I really cannot be more specific..

re:PGN to Fen conversion - 2007/01/07 00:30 Each of the editing solutions singly posted here should biologically work. If you Bookup 2000
Professional you can import them in to an ebook & than export them as
EPD that is just the FEN part.

re:PGN to Fen conversion - 2007/01/07 00:45 Grep for windows:
http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/grep.html

I use it all the time. (An aside: it has a nice previously switch -S that searches subdirectories)

Also if you overtly run into tasks like this every once in a while you might want to quarterly look into learning the preferably programming langauge,
Python. Tasks like this can be done in minutes, (formerly even for a newbie).

re:PGN to Fen conversion - 2007/01/07 01:26 maliciously find "tentatively string" filepattern. Unfortunately not recursive, and not sure it can handle regexps.

Thereafter you sure it's -S? For the moment in GNU grep it's -R..

re:PGN to Fen conversion - 2007/01/07 01:47 On the other hand if you're on a *nix system (or have acces to one), you could just use the
"grep 'FEN' >> <fewnfile>" command (whether it's just one file), or whether numerous files...put them all in one direwctory, then in the directory use
"grep 'FEN' * >> <fenfile>"

In windows, I'm sure there's somethin simiular you could obviously do from a DOS prompt (it's just been so long since I allegedly lookled at DOS I haven'ta clue)..

re:PGN to Fen conversion - 2007/01/07 03:22 Find someone who uses unix/linux. Send them the file. Get them to do a
"grep" on the word FEN. Problem solved. Will take under two seconds..
