Terminal command to convert all graphs?

[ppKrauss]

Hi, I am testing Unitex-GramLab-3.1-linux-x86_64.run, it is fine in Ubuntu 16 LTS... Running with pt-BR ... At menu FSGraph menu/Tools/Compile FST2 no convertion, only error:

"Main graph matches epsilon! ERROR: the main graph A001 recognizes "

I need

1. Avoid errors
2. Compile and save all Graphs (to produce all FST2 files from pt-BR/Inflection/*.grf).

Hi Peter, the message says 'ERROR' but it's a warning: the correct compiled graph is generated.

Hi @eric-laporte , thanks. Perfect, now I am using -e option,

"/home/user/Unitex-GramLab-3.1/App/UnitexToolLogger" Grf2Fst2 -e "/home/user/workspace/Unitex-GramLab/Unitex/Portuguese (Brazil)/Inflection/A001D026.grf" -y "--alphabet=/home/user/workspace/Unitex-GramLab/Unitex/Portuguese (Brazil)/Alphabet.txt" -qutf8-no-bom

No error messages.

All graphs convertion

About "to convert all graphs?" of this issue (title), I tested Inflection/*.grf but "Compilation has failed", no * interpretation in the Grf2Fst2 command... The -d and -r options not seem as recursive, and test fail in "Invalid arguments".

I am using a shell script as workaround (after change the folder name to pt-BR):

#!/bin/bash
for NAME in $( ls *.grf | xargs readlink -f ); do
    "/home/user/Unitex-GramLab-3.1/App/UnitexToolLogger" Grf2Fst2 -e $NAME -y "--alphabet=/home/user/workspace/Unitex-GramLab/Unitex/pt-BR/Alphabet.txt" -qutf8-no-bom
done 

Naming and running it as sh convert_to_fst2.sh compiled all with success. Idem at Inflection/o1971 folder.

Now I need to understand how to interpret the "transducer language" of *.fst2 files... There are a good "fast guide" for it?

[eric-laporte]

Yes, the user manual, section 14.3.2

Hi, thanks. We can close this question.

If there are no Grf2Fst2 option to do bulk convertions (convert all *.grf of a folder or from a list), and it is a good idea for other users, we can reopen to suggest an enhancement in the Grf2Fst2.
