[auton-users] fds conversion

[nichol]

Thanks Paul,

Actually, I was wondering if there was a simplier alternative
like the "fdsconvert.pl" code some put in my dir. It seems to
work apart from it just prints the screen. Is the fds format
hard to understand.

Actually, another option is for me to use someone elses dset;
can someone point me to theirs?

Cheers

Bob

*Hi Bob,
*
*1) get dset
*
*If you have access to AUTON source, you should check out the dset project
*and build it (it depends on the utils probject).  I can help you with
*that to some extent.
*
*In case you don't have or want the source, I copied the dset executable to
*your home directory.  It is called (surprise) dset.
*
*2) run dset
*
*if your input (text) file is foo.txt, do
*
*  ./dset edit in foo.txt
*
*3) save as fds
*
*from the dset prompt, do
*
*  save foo.fds
*
*4) quit
*
*  type 'quit' to quit from dset
*
*If the input filename ends in .txt or .csv, it will be read in some
*sensible way for an ascii file.  When you save, if you save to a filename
*with .fds as the extension, then you'll get an fds file.  Of course, you
*can to the opposite, too:
*
*  ./dset edit in foo.fds
*  save foo.txt
*  quit
*
