hi, In oder to easily read the booklist of gutenberg, I needed a table, sortable by authors and language. So, catalog.rdf has to be converted to OpenOffice-Spreadsheet. I don't know where to depose it, so please find this perl-program converting to HTML-table and OpenOffice-Spreadsheet #!/usr/bin/perl # use XML::LibXML; #use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel; use OpenOffice::OOCBuilder; require Encode; # catalog.rdf is in utf-8 so stdout should be utf-8 too #binmode (STDOUT, ':utf8'); my $parser = XML::LibXML->new (); $parser->keep_blanks (0); my $doc = $parser->parse_file ('catalog.rdf'); my %books; # parse XML into %books data structure # # parse book nodes my @booknodes = $doc->findnodes ('/rdf:RDF/pgterms:etext'); foreach my $booknode (@booknodes) { # this is a book description node my $etext_no = $booknode->getAttribute ('ID'); $etext_no =~ s/^etext//; my $o = {}; #print map(($_->nodeName."\n"),$booknode->childNodes); foreach $title ($booknode->findnodes ('dc:title//text()')) { push @{$o->{'titles'}}, Encode::encode_utf8($title->textContent); } foreach $creator ($booknode->findnodes ('dc:creator//text()')) { push @{$o->{'authors'}}, Encode::encode_utf8($creator->textContent); } foreach $creator ($booknode->findnodes ('dc:alternative//text()')) { push @{$o->{'titles'}}, Encode::encode_utf8("aka: ".$creator->textContent); } foreach $title ($booknode->findnodes ('dc:subject//text()')) { push @{$o->{'titles'}}, Encode::encode_utf8("Subject: ".$title->textContent); } foreach $creator ($booknode->findnodes ('dc:contributor//text()')) { push @{$o->{'authors'}}, Encode::encode_utf8("Contributor: ".$creator->textContent); } foreach $creator ($booknode->findnodes ('dc:created//text()')) { push @{$o->{'created'}}, Encode::encode_utf8($creator->textContent); } foreach $creator ($booknode->findnodes ('dc:description//text()')) { push @{$o->{'titles'}}, Encode::encode_utf8("Description: ".$creator->textContent); } foreach $creator ($booknode->findnodes ('dc:language//text()')) { push @{$o->{'lang'}}, Encode::encode_utf8($creator->textContent); } $books{$etext_no} = $o; } @booknodes = undef; # release some memory # parse file nodes my @filenodes = $doc->findnodes ('/rdf:RDF/pgterms:file'); foreach my $filenode (@filenodes) { foreach my $n ($filenode->findnodes ('dcterms:isFormatOf')) { # this is a file description node my $etext_no = $n->getAttribute ('resource'); $etext_no =~ s/^\#etext//; push @{$books{$etext_no}->{'files'}}, $filenode->getAttribute ('about'); } } @filenodes = undef; # release some memory $doc = undef; # output HTML # open(FH,">catalog.html"); print FH "<html><title>Gutenberg Index</title><body><table border=1>\n"; print FH "<tr><td>Author<td>Title<td>scandate<td>lang<td>Nr<td>Location<td>Fetch?</tr>\n"; while (my ($etext_no, $o) = each (%books)) { print FH "<tr>\n"; print FH "<td>".join("<br>",@{$o->{'authors'}}); print FH "<td>".join("<br>",@{$o->{'titles'}}); print FH "<td>".join("<br>",@{$o->{'created'}}); print FH "<td>".join("<br>",@{$o->{'lang'}}); print FH "<td>$etext_no\n"; print FH "<td><font size=-2>".join("<br>",@{$o->{'files'}})."</font>"; print FH "<td></tr>\n"; } print FH "</table></html>\n"; close(FH); #output OOo if(0){#no more excel my $OO=Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new("catalog.xls"); my $OOo=$OO->add_worksheet(); $OO->add_format()->set_text_wrap(); my $ii=0; $OOo->write($ii,0,"Author"); $OOo->write($ii,1,"Title"); $OOo->write($ii,2,"Scandate"); $OOo->write($ii,3,"lang"); $OOo->write($ii,4,"Nr"); $OOo->write($ii,5,"Location"); $OOo->write($ii,6,"Fetch"); while (my ($etext_no, $o) = each (%books)) { $ii++;#exit if $ii>10000; $OOo->write($ii,0,join("\n",@{$o->{'authors'}})); $OOo->write($ii,1,join("\n",@{$o->{'titles'}})); $OOo->write($ii,2,join(" ",@{$o->{'created'}})); $OOo->write($ii,3,join(" ",@{$o->{'lang'}})); $OOo->write($ii,4,$etext_no); $OOo->write($ii,5,join(" ",@{$o->{'files'}})); } } my $OOo=new OpenOffice::OOCBuilder(); my $ii=1; $OOo->set_data_xy(1,$ii,"Author"); $OOo->set_data_xy(2,$ii,"Title"); $OOo->set_data_xy(3,$ii,"Scandate"); $OOo->set_data_xy(4,$ii,"lang"); $OOo->set_data_xy(5,$ii,"Nr"); $OOo->set_data_xy(6,$ii,"Location"); $OOo->set_data_xy(7,$ii,"Fetch"); while (my ($etext_no, $o) = each (%books)) { $ii++;#exit if $ii>10000; $OOo->set_data_xy(1,$ii,join("\n",@{$o->{'authors'}})); $OOo->set_data_xy(2,$ii,join("\n",@{$o->{'titles'}})); $OOo->set_data_xy(3,$ii,join(" ",@{$o->{'created'}})); $OOo->set_data_xy(4,$ii,join(" ",@{$o->{'lang'}})); $OOo->set_data_xy(5,$ii,$etext_no); $OOo->set_data_xy(6,$ii,join(" ",@{$o->{'files'}})); } $OOo->generate('catalog'); -- Mit freundlichen GrĂ¼ssen Bernard Weiler BernardWeiler@compuserve.de
