PROGRAM:

NAME


textpack - Pack and unpack Flex files containing text

SYNOPSIS


textpack -c FLEXFILE [TEXTFILE]

textpack -x FLEXFILE [TEXTFILE]

DESCRIPTION


Text Flex files are used for the storage of strings by the games Exult supports. While
expack(1) can operate on such files, using textpack to pack and unpack them is more
comfortable.

The first parameter determines the mode of operation, -c stands for creation, -x for
extraction.

Creation
TEXTFILE (or stdin if it is missing) is read and must conform to the file format (see
below). FLEXFILE will be created containing the strings from this input.

Extraction
The strings contained in FLEXFILE are extracted and written to TEXTFILE (if given, stdout
otherwise) in the file format documented below.

File Format
Empty lines, and lines starting with a pound sign (#) are ignored. Other lines must begin
with a number, followed by a colon (:). The number is the index of the string and may be
given either in decimal, in octal prefixed with 0; or in hexadecimal prefixed with 0x.
Anything following the colon belongs to the string and gets stored in the Flex verbatim.
Lines are limited in length to 1024 characters.

EXAMPLES


textpack -x text.flx
Writes all the strings contained in text.flx to stdout in the format discussed
above.

textpack -c text.flx strings.list
Reads strings.list and puts its contents into the Flex file text.flx

Example text file
# An example
0:the zeroth string
# strings may be empty
1:
# holes are allowed, strings 2 to 16 will be empty
17:string seventeen
# 13 hexadecimal == 19 decimal, 24 octal == 20 decimal
0x13:nineteen
024:twenty
# numbers need not go up
18:eighteen
# this will overwrite the definition from above
19:overwritten
