The documentation reads:

Importing cards in the Vocabulary card type
For each card, put 'foreign word', 'pronunciation', and 'meaning' on a single line, separated by tabs.

How can I extort Vocabulary card in such a format?
Note: Exporting Vocabulary cards I get only one tab per line.

Hi,

 

If you want to exchange cards with other Mnemosyne users, it’s best to use the *.cards format for export.

 

Cheers,

 

Peter

Hi Peter,

 

Thank you very much for the answer.

 

I use Mnemosyne to learn Russian words. I insert in the Notes a lot of extra information like root, structure, declension scheme, etc. Because of this the ensemble of the cards forms a complex database.

 

- I want to systematically edit the database (e.g. in order to eliminate inconsistencies).

- I want to analyze the database and ‘navigate’ in the lexical space of the Russian language.

 

To this purpose I’m writing some programs to do the job. I’ve done some experimental work in Mathematica, but now I’ve decided to use Python because it’s more popular in the field of computational linguistics.

 

Fortunately all the items in the Notes have a standard format (key: values values …). Therefore I can write a small subprogram to separates the fields (‘columns’). I am very happy, that it is possible to re-import the edited data separating the fields with three tab.

 

Cheer,

 

Vittorio

Hi,

 

If you install Mnemosyne in your Python sitepackages directory (see the instructions for Mnemosyne developers), you can use Mnemosyne’s Python API to directly manipulate your Mnemosyne database. Have a look at the example_scripts folder in our Launchpad tree.

 

Cheers,

 

Peter
