BGL > Json : Keys with two or more values

[shahram7]

Hi Ilius,
I hope you're doing well.
I've recently noticed, that the JSON file that I converted from BGL 10 months ago doesn't have all entries.
I think it's because my BGL Glossary has more Values for some Keys. (one Value for each each part of speech (noun, adj or verb) ) and in JSON File it's going to be overwritten by last Value.
Is there a solution to append new values to the first value?
Best Regards
thanks in advance dadash

Hi Ilius,
after I've cloned the latest state I get this error by converting from bgl to json

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Ilius, The Values in converted json file are still getting overwritten and that Problem remained unsolved. I attach my BGL file here. You can surely find the reason easier.

Which keys ae overwritten?

Maybe I should have explained.
Look up keys "Bar", "Bar (2)", "Bar (3)", "Bar (4)" for example.
We just add a number like that to keys that have been used in previous entries.
We don't modify the values.

Also JSON is probably not a good format to convert BGL files because it doesn't support alternative word lookup when you load them (they are separated by | in our json). Unless you create your own index (or lookup table), which is kinda against the point of using json.

for instance i have following HTML code for that word "object" in my json file.

object<SUP>2</SUP><br><br><DIV style="margin-top : 3px"></DIV><FONT color="#3333CC" size="2.5"><B>object</SUP></B></FONT> [<FONT face="lucida sans unicode">ɒ</FONT>b'<IMG src="2F89DD93.bmp" align="center" width="12" height="15">ekt] <DIV style="margin-top : 3px"></DIV><TABLE cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <TR valign="top"><TD nowrap="nowrap" style="vertical-align:top"><STRONG> I </STRONG></TD><TD> <FONT color="#3333CC">intransitive verb</FONT><BR></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <TR valign="top"><TD nowrap="nowrap" style="vertical-align:top"><STRONG> <IMG src="A4F2AA15.bmp" align="absmiddle" width="17" height="17"> </STRONG></TD><TD> <FONT color="#33CC66"><I>(oppose, disapprove)</I></FONT> dagegen sein; <FONT color="#33CC66"><I>(mind, dislike)</I></FONT> etwas dagegen haben; <IMG src="00CE26A7.bmp" align="absmiddle" width="8" height="8"> <B><FONT color="#663300">to object to something</FONT></B> <FONT color="#33CC66"><I>(oppose, disapprove)</I></FONT> gegen etwas <FONT color="#990033"><B><I>accusative</I></B></FONT> sein; <FONT color="#33CC66"><I>(dislike, mind)</I></FONT> etwas gegen etwas <FONT color="#990033"><B><I>accusative</I></B></FONT> haben; <FONT color="#33CC66"><I>(stronger)</I></FONT> sich <FONT color="#990033"><B><I>dative</I></B></FONT> etwas verbitten </TD></TR><TR valign="top"><TD nowrap="nowrap" style="vertical-align:top"><STRONG> <IMG src="DB565468.bmp" align="absmiddle" width="17" height="17"> </STRONG></TD><TD> <FONT color="#33CC66"><I>(protest)</I></FONT> protestieren </TD></TR><TR valign="top"><TD nowrap="nowrap" style="vertical-align:top"><STRONG> II </STRONG></TD><TD> <FONT color="#3333CC">transitive verb</FONT><BR>einwenden </TD></TR></TABLE>

I've been using the Json files in my Python script to create flashcards.
to which Format shall I convert my BGLs in order to be able to read them in python?

thanks in advance

You can use Tabfile or CSV that are easy to parse.
Either way, you gotta create your own lookup HashTable (dict) in memory to look up words.
