I’ve got this task done. It should be useful to others moving from NoteTab to Notepad++.
I’ve added an end-of-outline-entry symbol “End=Entry” that should appear at the end of each entry. I’ve also written a migration program in PHP to insert these end-of-outline-entry symbols automatically into outline files (.otl). I’m using the “.out” extension for the output of this program. These .out files will be “outline” files in Notepad++.
Here is the migration program:
<?php
//--------------------------------------------------------------------//
// Program to migrate .otl files to .out files
// Springtime Software, David Spector, 10/3/19, public domain.
//--------------------------------------------------------------------//
define("NL","
");
$FileName=GetGetArg();
$PathIn="$FileName.otl";
$PathOut="$FileName.out";
$C=file_get_contents($PathIn,true);
$Lines=explode(NL,$C);
// Delete two header lines
array_shift($Lines);
array_shift($Lines);
$firstLine=true;
$bloat=0;
foreach ($Lines as $n=>$Line)
{
$R=preg_match('@^H=@',$Line,$F);
if ($R && !$firstLine)
{
array_splice($Lines,$n+$bloat,0,"End=Entry");
++$bloat;
}
$firstLine=false;
}
// Terminate last entry
array_splice($Lines,$n+$bloat+1,0,"End=Entry");
$C=implode("\n",$Lines);
$BytesOrFalse=file_put_contents($PathOut,$C);
function GetGetArg()
{
foreach ($_GET as $ArgName=>$ArgVal)
{
return $ArgName;
} // Each expected arg
} // GetGetArg
?>
