No hurry. Thanks, Bob Monsen
It's at:
http://www.infinitefactors.org/misc/asc.zip
It contains just two files, the EXE and a library symbol
file. Place both in some directory that is in the path. You
need to use DOS, sadly. I didn't set these up for Windows --
wanted to focus on the task, not get mired in Windows
sideshows.
If you run the program without a filename, it will say:
: asc version 1.2.1, (library C:\TOOLS\BIN\ASC.SYM found)
:
: This program converts LTSpice schematics into ASCII schematic output (or
: files.) If you specify no files at all, it accepts the LTSpice schematic
: from its standard input device. If you specify exactly one file, it dis-
: plays the ASCII schematic output to the standard output device. If you
: specify more than one file, it then generates .TXT files otherwise having
: the same name as the specified schematics.
:
: These options are supported:
: +h requests this help message, -h disables it.
: +r enables rectangle drawing, -r disables it (default is -r)
: +c enables clipboard copying, -c disables it (default is -c)
: +c<char> enables clipboard copying and prepends <char> to each line
:
: Usage: asc <options> <filename> [<filename>]...
There are some options, like the clipboard. But post
Win2000, that mechanism was broken and I haven't set up the
additional DLL I'd need to remedy it. (Something I may yet
take care of.) So under WinXP, for example, I just run it
into a file and use notepad to call it up. Something like:
ASC amplify.asc >amplify.txt
NOTEPAD amplify.txt
It gets the job done. Under Win98SE, I just use the +c
option and then paste the text, as desired, in Windows.
The library is semi-okay. There's some symbols I've probably
not yet added to it because I don't use the parts that much.
I won't mind extending it (it's not hard to do) if there is
anything you use and would like put in. I just use a text
editor and hack in the new ASCII and then save it. The
program automatically parses it every time it runs.
