The Converter application facilitates the conversion of dictionaries. For instance, the dictionaries in CSV format can be converted into database backed dictionaries.
In order to convert a dictionary into another format, type the followng command:
cd %TM_HOME%\bin set_env.bat java -Xmx256m -Dtextmaven.home=%TM_HOME% -cp %_tm_classpath% textmaven.application.converter.Main [options] source-id target-id
Refer to the file setupdb.bat for sample conversion. This file converts the CSV dictionaries into database backed dictionaries. For conversion purposes, it might be appropriate to create a dedicated configuration file, like it is done in the sample file previously mentioned. A configuration file different than the default can be specified by setting the Java system property textmaven.configuration. See the example below:
java -Xmx256m -Dtextmaven.configuration=your-config-file.xml -Dtextmaven.home=%TM_HOME% -cp %_tm_classpath% textmaven.application.converter.Main [options] source-id target-id
Options and parameters submitted to the command file are directly passed through to the java program.
Options are:
| -? | Prints usage notes, as you are reading currently. |
| -v | Switch on verbose mode. |
| -d | Prints the dictionaries configured |
| source-id | Id of the dictionary to be used as source. |
| target-id | Id of the dictionary to be used as target. |
