Need help processing 700 vgm pack text files

[vampirefrog]

Hello, I need help processing about 700 text files for some VGM packs, I have created a simple UI, the pack text files must be converted from an older, dirty format to our current, clean format. please leave a reply if you want to help and I will give you 50 at a time. it really doesn't take long, thank you.

For those who have volunteered, here is what you need to do.

The UI allows you to create custom text files for existing packs that we are going to import.

The table has 4 columns:
- pack info
- original pack text file
- fixed text file (by my script)
- an empty text area where you can copy the fixed text file to, and further fix it manually

The fixes that you need to make are as follows:

- Some packs merge Notes: and Package history:. Please separate these into distinct sections.
- The section names must be exactly Notes: and Package history:
- The Package history: section must look like this: version date author description. Example:

Code: Select all

1.05 2021-12-10 vampirefrog: fixed text file

- The date and author may be missing, if the author is missing, the semicolon can also be omitted.
- If you can, try to word wrap it so the text is not wider than the header (47 characters), you can leave URLs whole.

Ultimately the file must correspond to viewtopic.php?p=759#p759

Please click on Save to save the file, it is also saved when you click one of the tool buttons at the top.

Another example: Code: Select all Notes: Another Mammoth rip, and for one of the finest RPGs ever made by man - a genuine classic of the 16 Bit Era. It lives on here. I've taken the liberty of cleaning up the names a bit - No "Red Alart" for you purists, sorry. :) If you really want the old names that bad, switch to Japanese View. That won't work for spelling errors though (Red Alart, The Promissing Future, etc...) Pao-Pao is actually from Fantasy Zone. This one's for DJSW, Brotha. 1.01 Update fixes a small tag issue that was present in one song. 1.10 Removed "Ippo" from Izuho Takeuchi and replaced M. "Gaki-Chan" Nakagaki with Masaki Nakagaki. -dissident93 2.00 Relogged The End of the Millennium, it looped too early. -Valley Bell The Inquisitorial vengeance had been hurried by my two-fold escape, And there was to be no more dallying with The King of Terrors... -DP

This could probably be automated/scripted + Manual QA'd. Interested to volunteer unless if it's already done.
