PRONOM-helper-creator

This c++ program creates a switch for matching PRONOM PUID strings to the full name with version. It is intended to be used in FileConverter. It parses an CSV report from National Archives, just search by file format without specifying an extension and save the report as CSV.

Usage:

MakePronomHelper.exe <Input file>                  # Writes to output.txt
MakePronomHelper.exe <Input file> <Output file>    # Writes to specified file

Example output:

string output;
switch(pronom){
case ""        : output = Empty                                                       ; break;
case default   : output = Unknown                                                     ; break;
case "fmt/1"   : output = "Broadcast WAVE 0 Generic"                                  ; break;
case "fmt/2"   : output = "Broadcast WAVE 1 Generic"                                  ; break;
//(...)
case "x-fmt/455": output = "AutoCAD Drawing 2007-2008"                                ; break;
}
return output;
