My parts database format is human-readable and well-suited to use by programs
as well as humans, and solves your problem quite well. My inventory scripts use
it. Look at:
http://www.lugnet.com/db/inv/?n=136
Here are some sample entries:
ld2412, mr0055
Name: 1 x 2 tile with grille
ld3648, mr0001
Name: 24t gear
Name: z24 gear
mr0038, ld2855+ld2856
Official-Name: Large Turntable [[pitsco3]]
the important things to notice are:
- every part can have more than one part number
- every part can have more than one name
- a prefix like "ld" for lDraw is added to make the part numbers unambiguous.
