Here's the converted file (too big for the 40 KB mailing list limit): http://u.nix.is/~avar/hutten.osm To accomplish really simple tasks like these I usually use GNU Emacs keyboard macros[1], instead of say writing a short Perl script. The process is basically that I look at the first line and convert it manually, e.g. by changing: Aarbiwak SAC to <tag k="name" v="Aarbiwak SAC"/> Then I go to the next ";" to find the next thing, and convert that too, etc. When I get to "8,152199642;46,55547325" I cut that out my seeking across ";" twice. Then I seek back and add that to the <node> part I added at the beginning, using query-replace to convert "," to ".". Finally I update the id="" with a numeric register[2]. Then I move my cursor to the next line and tell Emacs "hey, remember all that manual labour I did, please repeat that for the rest of the file". At which point it automatically converts the entire thing to what I've just attached (I only needed to add opening & closing <osm> tags at the beginning/end afterwards). Here's the ad-hoc Emacs keyboard macro I used. It's basically a raw log of every keystroke I pressed and commands I issued during the above, so not very readable: http://paste.lisp.org/display/86987 All-in-all the whole process took around 3-4 minutes. Writing this E-Mail took much longer. I'd really recommend learning Emacs or a similarly powerful editor (I'm not aware of any) if you happen to do a lot of text editing that could be helped if it were automated/programmable. 1. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Keyboard-Macros.html 2. http://www.sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Gnu/emacs-20.7/html_chapter/emacs_11.html#SEC71 _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
