#Command line dictionary tool -- kv
The kv can
-
extract plain text from a dictionary of StarDict, for example,
kv extract oxford.idx
-
build a dictionary of StarDict from a plain text file, like,
kv build oxford.txt
-
query by keyword from a specified dictionary,
kv query oxford.idx key
-
httpd service
kv.exe server oxford.idx
Then you can access http://localhost:8080/ to query word, the feature can work with a chrome extension to query word on web page.
The plain text file should be formated like this:
#key1
;explanation of key1
#key2
;explanation of key2
more explanation of key2
#key3
;explanation of key3
#key4
#key5
;explanation of key4 and key5
more and more
If you have # in your values, you can use another key marker such as _KEY_STARTER_, then tell kv about it with option -k.
Explanations must be started with semicolon(;).
cd kv
