I've noticed there's an empty blank line at the end, so I tried deleting it but the error keeps appearing. The error btw, indicates there's a row that has been malformatted, but doesn't give more info. flash-1905232047.txt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

furiop 25 Report post Posted May 23, 2019 Answer to https://www.chinese-forums.com/forums/topic/51989-a-short-list-of-resources-for-studying-chinese/?do=findComment&comment=453876 Dear xinoxanu x, As Mikelove said, the format is: Simpl|TAB|Trad|TAB|Numb.Pinyin|TAB|definition So, from Pleco file, find-and-replace every "[" into a tab and every "]" into nothing. Example 成群[成群] cheng2qun2 1 in groups 2 large numbers of 3 grouping is changed in 成群 成群 cheng2qun2 1 in groups 2 large numbers of 3 grouping Tab+definition is compulsive, so 街角[街角] jie1jiao3 (no tab+definition) is changed in 街角 街角 jie1jiao3 definition delete last blank line 109 Furio 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
furiop 25 Report post Posted May 23, 2019 I have in my windows 10 pc a version of inkstone that is running in native windows. The executables comes from https://www.dropbox.com/s/uupgyq5xizpkas5/Inkstone.zip?dl=1 Shaunak's link. The version is 0.1.0, not the last 0.1.4 Is it possible to upgrade the windows app? Thank you, Furio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For future reference, it's usually better to hit 'Report Post' rather than @ing a specific admin user, as then anyone on the admin team can fix the problem. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xinoxanu 152 Report post Posted May 24, 2019 Hi! Thanks for the help but I'm not sure how to do this automatically: 7 hours ago, furiop said: 街 [ot角] jie1jiao3 (no tab+definition) is changed in 街角 街角 jie1jiao3 definition Do I need to manually input "definition" when there's none? Thanks again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
furiop 25 Report post Posted May 24, 2019 3 hours ago, xinoxanu said: Do I need to manually input "definition" when there's none? In Pleco export it is possible to put a definition if not present in flascards. Pleco original definition is too long for me, so I'm using the CC-CEDICT dictionary for short definitions (HERE a 2013 version). I change "[" and "]" with "Tab" and "Nothing" using a simple text editor (usually I use Notepad++, but any editor with global serch&replace feature works well). I use editore for deleting last blank lines too. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Publius 1,615 Report post Posted May 24, 2019 5 hours ago, xinoxanu said: Do I need to manually input "definition" when there's none? No, you don't. Step 1: Open your .txt file in Notepad++; press "Ctrl + H". Step 2: In the dialog box, change "Search Mode" from "Normal" to "Regular expression". Step 3: In the field "Find what", type "\[(.+?)\]\t" (without quotation marks); in the field "Replace with", type "\t\1\t" (without quotation marks); click "Replace All". Step 4: In the field "Find what", type "^([^\t]+\t[^\t]+\t[^\t]+)$" (without quotation marks); in the field "Replace with", type "\1\tNO DEF" (without quotation marks); click "Replace All". Step 5: Change "Search Mode" back to "Normal"; click "Close". Step 6: Go to menu: Edit > Line Operations > Remove Empty Lines. Step 7: Save your file. Done. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kanumo 21 Report post Posted June 21, 2019 Hey everyone, I am new to this Forum and would like to post my first Question right away :-) I am using an iPhone in Germany. and the link for the inkstone app does not work here. There seems to be another app in the appstore with this Name, but different Content. I couldn´t find the answer in the Forum yet, therefore I post it here. If it has been answered before, please let me know. BTW: I would like to introduce myself with a few words. Is there a certain area i should do so? Thanks, Dimi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shelley 1,860 Report post Posted June 21, 2019 Hello and welcome to the forum. There is a topic "Why Chinese" here https://www.chinese-forums.com/forums/topic/43982-why-chinese/?tab=comments#comment-328363 This is good place to share why you learn Chinese and a bit about yourself. Or you could just start a new topic - Maybe something like - Hello, I am Dimi. There you could introduce yourself. I hope this helps. This is a very friendly forum, enjoy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it has been answered before, please let me know. I just searched in the US App Store, and I didn't see it either. It has been almost a year since the author updated the app or responded to any of the issues on the GitHub repo... I think he may have moved on to other projects. I would not be surprised if Apple takes your apps off its store if you don't pay some sort of yearly registration fee. That may be the reason we can't find his app there anymore. The Android version is unaffected, and in any case you could always download an .apk from the GitHub repo if it disappeared from the Google Play store. I don't believe you have that option if you're using an iPhone unless you jailbreak it first... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
