Hi;
I have been using Notecase for a couple of years. I would like to keep it but it seems it is no longer being maintained as open source.
∴ I would like to use Lyx as my large note taker or draft writer application. The problem is Notecase uses an *.ncd suffix which is unrecognized by Lyx. When I examine the files I want to import from Notecase to Lyx they are designated in the header as:
<!DOCTYPE NoteCase-File> <!--LastNote:41--> <HTML> <HEAD> <meta content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"> <meta name="generator" content="NoteCase 1.6.1"> <TITLE></TITLE> ... etc.
The markup is almost certainly html.
How can I convert these files into *.txt? I have tried several variations of:
]$ html2text -o ~/UMLC.txt file:///home/bill/NoteCaseDocs/UMLC.txt *Cannot open input file "file:///home/bill/NoteCaseDocs/UMLC.*".
Any suggestions greatly appreciated on how to import these (I have several) *.ncd files into Lyx.
The real solution was:
]$ html2text ~/NoteCaseDocs/UMLC.ncd >> ~/NoteCaseDocs/UMLC.txt
Then importing .txt files into LyX. Worked like a charm!
However, shouldn't have ]$ html2text ~/NoteCaseDocs/UMLC.ncd -o ~/NoteCaseDocs/UMLC.txt worked as well. Or, have I misunderstood the use of the '-o' option ?!?
