Python could also easily be used. Not that this would work, but here's
the skeleton code
import fileinput
import Sword
mgr = Sword.SWMgr()
mod = mgr.getModule('KJV')
key = mod.getKey()
for line in fileinput.input():
print "$$$%s\n%s" % (key.toString(), line)
key.increment()
I forget the exact method call that converts a key into its string
representation, but it's something like that. You then would execute
the above script like so:
./convert.py test.vpl
and its output should be in imp format.
