Hi. I am trying to learn Japanese and I am creating word lists as: Kanji/Katakana <TAB> Katakana <TAB> meaning
理由 りゆう reason
地理 ちり geography
無理な むりな impossible
特に とくに especially
安い やすい cheap
I just now scraped together the following to turn it into org-drill format.
I have not written any elisp for probably at least 40 years so, as they say,
よろしくお願いします。
You should be able to munge it for your purposes.
(defun txt-to-TSV ()
"turn a tab-separated text line into TSV"
(interactive)
(save-mark-and-excursion
(save-restriction
(let ((beg (progn (beginning-of-line) (point)))
(end (progn (forward-line)
(if (looking-at "\n")
(- (point) 1)
(point))))
(tabs nil)
(tsv (vector))
(prev nil))
(narrow-to-region beg end)
(goto-char beg)
(setq tabs (vector beg))
(setq prev beg)
(while (< (point) end)
(if (looking-at "\t")
(progn
(setq tabs (vconcat tabs (vector (point))))
(setq tsv (vconcat tsv (vector (buffer-substring prev
(point)))))
(setq prev (+ 1 (point)))))
(forward-word))
(setq tabs (vconcat tabs (vector end)))
(setq tsv (vconcat tsv (vector (buffer-substring prev (point)))))
))
))
(defun txt-to-drill (arg)
"convert TSV to drill"
(interactive "p")
(while (> arg 0)
(setq arg (- arg 1))
(let ((tsv (txt-to-TSV))
(query (concat
"*** Query :drill:\n"
" :PROPERTIES:\n"
" :END:\n"))
(answer (concat
"**** Answer\n")))
(if (> (length tsv) 2)
(progn
(beginning-of-line)
(insert "\n" query (aref tsv 0))
(insert "\n" answer (aref tsv 1))
(let ((i 2))
(while (< i (length tsv))
(insert "\n" (aref tsv i))
(setq i (+ 1 i))))
(insert "\n")
(insert "# ")
(beginning-of-line)
(forward-line)))
)))
