LIF<->TEXT perl utilities
I wrote these two conversion perl scripts to aid playing with my 71B and its new FRAM71. I have tested these on OS X, and they should run on Linux or other Unix platforms without change. Windows users may need to add an appropriate binmode setting, which I can't test as I "don't do Windows". :-)
This first one is text2lif, which takes a Unix style file and converts it to a TEXT LIF file. The command line synopsis is: Code: text2lif [-o outfile] [-s suffix] file [...] The second is lif2text, which does the reverse. The command line synopsis is: Code: lif2text [-o outfile] [-s suffix] file [...] For both, if outfile is "-", the output is written to stdout. By default, text2lif will add a '.t71' suffix, unless overridden with the -s option. By default, lif2text will strip the suffix if the input file has one, otherwise will add a suffix, either '.txt' or the one specified by the -s option. Both will attempt to not clobber the input file(s). lifperlutils.zip (Size: 2.15 KB / Downloads: 16) |

I have a Macbook Pro. It seems that this would be a simple version for converting Basic files in text instead of doing this with the transform program on the HP71. I'm right? Can you give me a practical example please? I tried some variations but not successful maybe I misunderstand the syntax. best regards Erwin |

As Dave said, all they do is transform a Unix text file to or from the LIF text file format. They do not perform tokenization/detokenization of Basic programs. If you have a Basic program on your Mac, you could use text2lif to produce the LIF text file equivalent, which you could place in your 71B, but then the 71B will still need to perform the transformation. Take a look at this thread about how I used them to transfer files. |

Thank you both, very interesting the other thread ... playing around with my FRAM71B too :-) but for now I write on a calibration program for the 3421A DATA-ACQ (actual only partly solved). regards Erwin |
