How to check an external beacon file for items present in wikidata?

[jneubert]

I've downloaded http://www.historische-kommission-muenchen-editionen.de/beacon_ndb.txt and wanted to know how many of the persons referenced there by GND ID are present in Wikidata. I tried

wdmapper check P227 -i beacon_ndb.txt

but only got a message missing source in line 2.

BEACON input format has not been impemented yet (#17). With the current dev branch (6b818eb) you can do:

$ wget http://www.historische-kommission-muenchen-editionen.de/beacon_ndb.txt 
$ echo "target" > gnds.csv
$ awk '!/^#/ {print}' < beacon_ndb.txt >> gnds.csv
$ ./wdmapper.py check P227 -i gnds.csv

Thanks for the hints, worked great!
