It's nice to hear that it works


Currently, I'm trying to convert text to 8xp, but it runs outrageously slow and has the most vexing habit of occasionally chopping off characters at the start of a new line. /frustration

If it's syntax, check to make sure you added your colons and correctly closed all your parenthesis, braces, and such?  In IDLE, the brackets look very similar to parenthesis, at least for me...

If it crashes while running the script, make sure that you opened it in the first place?

Yup, no problem!  Glad to help.

Just be aware that most forms of input will automatically turn single slashes into double slashes, so you probably won't have to account for those (although you should test to be certain).

Well, assuming you have a space dividing the word and the number, and assuming follows the format you gave, and assuming that there's only one command per line (wow, I'm assuming a lot of things, aren't I?), here would be a basic script that takes a text file named 'thing.txt' and creates a second text file named 'otherthing.txt' (although you probably would end up wanting this to to automatically generate the output file name).

import sys

table = {"If":"21",
         "While":"32",
         "etc...":"25",
         ...
         "For":"91"}


input_path = "C:\\Users\\TheGame\\SomeDirectory\\thing.txt"
output_path = "C:\\Users\\Lobster\\n_example\\otherthing.txt"
# The double slashes are recommended - you don't want to accidentally have a '\n' somewhere.

input_file = open(input_path, "r")
output_file = open(output_path, "w")



for line in input_file:
    cut = line.index(" ")    # This searches for the position of the space
    replacement = table[line[0:cut]]
    output_file.write(replacement + line[cut+1:] + "\n")
    # Just doing line[cut:] would include the space.



input_file.close()
output_file.close()

Print("Done!")



It's a bit simple, but I hope it helps!

Indenting is off by default.  (I was learning about command line options, and threw in a bunch to practice )

And @Scout:
Yeah, it would be pretty cool if this could disassemble assembly into Axe.  But I'd have to learn assembly first 

I just realized that I uploaded an incorrect version - I had set it up to detokenize a certain file automatically for testing purposes and forgot to change it back.

So to the one person who downloaded this, here's a fix.

Hi -- welcome to Omnimaga!

The peanuts are the way we greet newcomers here -- it's sort of like a meme.

What kinds of games/projects are you working on right now?

Well, the main thing is that it automatically adds indents to the code.  It's always irritated me that no other program did that for me (at least, I think) because I find it really helpful for understanding my code.
