Reading txt in the command line interface about collatex

[rhdekker]

Dear Silvia,

Typing:
C:\Users\xxxxx\Desktop> java -jar collatex-tools-1.7.1.jar output-adobe.txt output-tesseract.txt original.txt
should produce an alignment table in JSON format.

If you don't like the JSON format there are other formats, for example comma separated values (CSV).

C:\Users\xxxxx\Desktop> java -jar collatex-tools-1.7.1.jar output-adobe.txt output-tesseract.txt original.txt -f csv

Hope this helps.

Best,
Ronald

Dear Ronald, it worked perfectly, thank you!

Although I was not able to get the encoding right :(
In the documentation I found that:

plain text version can also be provided in other encodings supported by the Java Platform and will be converted to Unicode before comparison. The command line interface is one such interface which supports character set conversions

I tried doing this:
C:\Users\xxxxx\Desktop>java -jar collatex-tools-1.7.1.jar output_abby.txt output_tesseract.txt output_clean.txt -f csv -ie utf-8 -oe utf-8 >> output.csv

But it didn't work.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

Cheers,

S.
