TPConv

Current Version

Version 2.1

Introduction

TPConv is a small utility to convert an XML data file to the Treepad data format and vice versa. Treepad is an easy-to-use Information Manager written by Henk Hagedoorn, Freebyte Software Engineering. Treepad's homepage is at www.treepad.com.

The current version of TPConv is 2.1. It supports the Treepad-File-Version 4.0 and smaller (ie. HTML, RTF and plain text data). However, since Treepad itself only puts images and other objects in an extra file, the handling of these external objects is not done by TPConv. Version 2.x is a complete rework of the older version 0.9.0 and is now implemented in Java. I have tested TPConv with Treepad SAFE, Version 6.2. If you encounter any problems with other versions please contact me (see Contacts) .

Installation

TPConv is distributed as an executable jar file.
After downloading the file, you should rename it to tpconv.jar (the original downloaded file usually has the version number appended).

Usage

TPConv consists mainly of a self-executing jar-file. Simply execute it with the following command:

 java -jar tpconv.jar   

Options must be one of -oxml (for converting a Treepad to an XML file) or -otp (for converting an XML to a Treepad file). infile and outfile must be the filenames of a Treepad and an XML file, respectivly.

Examples

To convert an XML file source.xml to the Treepad file result.hjt execute tpconv as follows:

 java -jar tpconv.jar -otp source.xml result.hjt

To convert a Treepad file source.hjt to the XML file result.xml use:

 java -jar tpconv.jar -oxml source.hjt result.xml
