and produce *.pgn as output.

I'd be glad to have such a tool.

Best to you,

Replace this:

Code: Select all

    if (move_promo)
        fprintf(ft, "Q");       // allways queen: this is incorrect 

with this:

Code: Select all

    if (move_promo) {
        static const char prm[] = "RNBQ";
        fprintf(ft, "%c", prm[abs(move_promo)-1]);
    }

To clean/normalize and process a pgn file

Step 1: Backup original pgn file.
Step 2: 'Pgn-Extract' to remove duplicates.
Step 3: 'CleanTag' to remove erroneous tags.
Step 4: 'Trim' to correctly re-format pgn file.
Step 5: 'PgnMan' to add ECO to openings.
Step 6: 'AddElo' to fill in missing Elo tags.
Step 7: 'CleanUp' to remove incorrect null values.
Step 8: 'NameList' to produce player stats file.
Step 9: 'Ratelist' to produce player elo stats file

Step 10: Output completed/processed pgn 'processed.pgn' and stats files.


On the command line type:
-----------------------------------------------

process <name of pgn file>

EXAMPLE:

process anand.pgn


When completed directory will additionally contain >

1. processed.pgn - the fully cleaned/normalized/processed pgn file.
2. Ratelist.txt - Ratings list of all players contained in the pgn.
3. Namelist.txt - List of all players contained in the pgn.

On the command line type:

abk2pgn with Lance Perkins mod

For cleaning up pgns I created a little batch script for my personal use
which run a series of pgn tools one after the other automatically (saves a lot of typing on the command line).

Hi Jim,
I stumbled across this thread and was wanting to try out your abk2pgn compile with the Lance Perkins mod, but it seems the link has expired. Would it be possible for you to repost a new link so I can download it to play with? Thanks.
