Short: V1.0 - Data2Catalog for Blitz Author: xn.baddolls@a2points.com (NUEL Xavier) Uploader: xn baddolls a2points com (NUEL Xavier) Type: dev/blitz Architecture: m68k-amigaos Hi, XDat2Cat V1.0 is a litle program for a quick creation of a catalog file for your own program in Blitz Basic... But be careful, it doesn't make the file.catalog !!! It will only make the file.cd ( catalog description ) and, if you want, a file.ct ( catalog translation ). For the first step, you must doing a data-file of your localised strings. The format of this file is like this : Label Data$ "Localised text" ; "Texte localisé" Data$ "An other text" ; "Un autre texte" Data$ "Yes|No !!" ; "Oui|Non !!" OtherLabel Data$ "Again, some text" ; "Encore du texte" ... .. . 'Label' is a name for the type of strings. "Localised text" is the english version of the catalog's string. It's the description's string for the file.cd. "Texte localisé" is the translation's string for the file.ct. In the file.cd , this will create this strings : ; MSG_Label_1 (1//) Localised text ; MSG_Label_2 (2//) An other text ; ... .. . And in the file.ct : ; MSG_Label_1 (1//) Texte localisé ; MSG_Label_2 (2//) Un autre texte ; ... .. . When you've got this two file, you can create the file.catalog. One way is using the program CatEdit ( © 93-95 Rafael D'Halleweyn ) available on Aminet. -First step : Menu : extras/read/catalog description ( select your file.cd ) -Second step : Menu : extras/read/catalog translation ( select your file.ct ) -Final step : Menu : project/save ( save your file.catalog in the LOCALE:catalogs/the_country_of_the_translation) -That's all I hope my english is not too bad ;-) ... Enjoy yourself whith this program, and ask me if you've got some problems with it.
