QuestionTSV out of a tab-based tree-like file Pin
DynV9-Nov-19 19:43
DynV9-Nov-19 19:43 
From a tab-based tree-like file, I'd like to get a flat-file DB (I think I'll make a program out of it and probably using ECMAScript/JavaScript, but whatever I end up doing I need a DB to start with). The file have different 1st-level block items, that is starting right after \n and ending just before either "\n\w" or EOF (end of file); I'm only interested in a certain kind: starting with "\nsystem\s", which I'll refer to as "system". A good portion of systems have a 2nd-level (non-block) item, that is starting right after \n\t and ending just before either "\n" or EOF (end of file); I'm only interested in those starting with "\n\tlink\s", which I'll refer to as "link"; any of those cases have > 1 link. I'm thinking the links can be in a CSV. All systems have a single 2nd-level "pos", which has 2 digits, that can be negative.

To summarize: Not all 1st-level items are systems but I'm only interested those. Some systems have no link, a decent portion have just 1, and a large portion have > 1, whichever of those cases I need links to be listed. A good portion of names, be it system or link are double-quoted which I don't want (the quotes).

The input file is https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/blob/master/data/map.txt and the following is its current version 1st 2 systems trailed by an example of a system without a link and after is the output I'm looking to have from that.

I'd prefer to run the regex in Notepad++, but worse case I have Cygwin so I could use some *nix tools although please note often Cygwin version is old (so if someone want me to use the latest *nix tool, there's a decent chance I won't be able to in Cygwin).

Thank you kindly for your help
