Thanks for the suggestions. Both suggestions seem reasonable (for 3.3,
probably; definitely not for 3.2). I had actually planned to support
multiple output formats in the future, but wasn’t sure what they should be.
csv is certainly one of the easiest. A tab-separated text file might also
be good.

Yes, maybe even better/safer due to possible (if possible at all) commas in
part names.
|
As far as I know, entries in a csv can be quoted. I just have to figure out
how, and quote if I run across a comma in the data.

I’ve considered XML, but I’m not sure about the specifics. If anyone knows
about a schema that would be a good match for a parts list, I’m open to
suggestions.

Hm, how about the
BrickLink’s wanted list
format? I guess that one might be very useful.

Thanks. That one could be useful. It’s not an exact match. For example, I’d
have to use MINQTY for the quantity. Also, it looks like they don’t use LDraw
colors, and it’s hard to tell if their part numbers are guaranteed to be a match
for the LDraw ones. So it might take a lot of work to make this work well.
(I’d presumably just have a mapping XML file that mapped the LDraw stuff to the
BrickLink stuff, and let someone else keep that up to date.)

Side note: it’s csv (comma separated values), not cvs (Concurrent Versions
System).
|
Haha, sorry for that :) I currently work more with cvs and it just slipped
out (too many times).
|
I have a tendency to do that myself. However, when I read it, I usually spot
the problem.

Brickstore can already export wanted list and inventory XML files ready for importing into Bricklink, it does the conversion between Ldraw and Bricklink colour codes when you import the Ldraw file.
