Unicode/XML Westminster Leningrad Codex - CSV files

[cvkimball]

Norman Simon Rodriquez requested a version of the Unicode/XML Westminster Leningrad Codex in comma-separated-value format (csv). This format is readable by spreadsheets, such as OpenOffice, and very easy to input into databases. Easier, I suspect, than with the current text files. A typical row has 8 columns

Deut,26,5,1,וְעָנִ֨יתָ,w,null,Deut26:5.1

in the format: book abbreviation, chapter, verse, position, Hebrew text. type of text, transcription notes, id CR/LF.

Zipped files containing the complete Tanach with different contents (Consonants, Vowels, Accents, Morphology) are available. The file size is 3.5 Mb for Accents content. Please contact me if you're interested in one of these files.

Hi there.
I'd love a copy of your database also.
I also have one question.
Im looking for a database which has the words separated and translated similar to what bible hub uses.

If you could provide your files it would be a huge help.
Thanks

Dear BikeMadBrit,

The basic format for the Unicode/XML Westminster Leningrad Codex files is XML with HTML, ODT, and TXT formats provided, too. I don't have the current text in CSV format. If you really want what BibleHub format, please ask them if they can help as it appears that they're also using the WLC.

CSV is a pretty awkward format for text and I'd rather not generate it again. If you still need it, contact me at transcriber@tanach.us.

The software to produce CSV files has been found. It produces a single .csv file for the entire Tanach in one of 4 flavors: Morphology, Accents, Vowels, Consonants. The Tanach in this format has a LOT of lines, but if you'd like one or all 4, I'll send them by e-mail.
