Hi,

It works beautifully, and it is amazingly fast!

The file names are written with a colon, which is not allowed on OS X:
dw:1.txt, is there a way to have a dash instead, like
dw-1.txt?

I must add that I had to take away the Chapter part,
becasue many chapter headings do not include that word in their text.

So, I have been using:

awk '/\* /{close(f); p=x; f=x} /CITE-KEY/{f=tolower($2) ".txt"; $0=p$0 } !f{p=p $0 ORS} f{print >f}' file

I tried:

awk '/\* {close(f); p=x; f=x} /CITE-KEY/{f=tolower($2) ".txt"; $0=p$0 } !f{p=p $0 ORS} f{print >f}' file

But it throws:
Code:
awk: syntax error at source line 1
 context is
    /\* {close(f); p=x; f=x} >>>  /CITE-KEY/{ <<<
awk: bailing out at source line 1

Thank you so much. So much elegance in Awk. Truly inspiring.

resgen

resgen(resgen 1.0)														resgen(resgen 1.0)

NAME

       resgen, resgen2 - Mono/CLI Resource Generator

SYNOPSIS

       resgen source.ext [dest.ext]

       resgen /compile source.ext[,dest.resources] [...]

       resgen2

DESCRIPTION

       Convert a resource file from one format to another.

       The currently supported formats are text, resources, resx and po.

       .txt, .text

	      Used to process text files, the format of the text file is of the form:

		   key=value

	      The  value  argument  can contain special characters as long as they are escaped.   The escape sequences currently supported are 
,
	      
, 	, \ (to get the escape sequence itself) and with resgen2 unicode escape  sequences  are  supported  with  the  uXXXX  escape
	      sequence, where XXXX is a four digit number.

	      Lines that start with the # or ; character are considered comments and ignored.

       '.resources'

	      This is the binary file format implemented by the System.Resources.ResourceReader class, part of mscorlib.dll

       '.resx'

	      This  is	the  binary  file  format  implemented by the System.Resources.ResXResourceReader class.  This class is not part of mscor-
	      lib.dll, this class is part of System.Windows.Forms.

       '.po'.

	      PO files are the source files used by the Unix gettext infrastructure that is typically used to internationalize applications.

	      Lines starting with the '#' character are comment lines.

	      The file contains many instance of strings like this:

		   msgid KEY
		   msgstr VALUE

	      The KEY is typically the string to translate and the VALUE is the translation.  On PO files instead of using codes as the KEY (as it
	      is  customary  with resource files) the KEY is typically a complete english message that applications embed in their source code and
	      will be used as a fallback if no translation resources are used.

	      Since resources are key value pairs, the extended features in PO files are not supported (plurals and support for N-cases).

	      To learn more about the po file format, use your info browser and point it to the "(gettext)PO Files" node.

       If the destination file is not specified, source.resources will be used.

       The /compile option takes a list of .resX or .txt files to convert to the output file name.

OPTIONS

       -compile

	      This switch instructs resgen to compile multiple files.  It must appear before any resources are specified on the command line.

       -usesourcepath

	      This option is only available for resgen2, and it instructs resgen to resolve relative paths using the directory of the resx file as
	      current directory.

FILES

       This program will load referenced assemblies from the Mono assembly cache.
