http://bleaklow.com:80/tags/roller/ My opinions may be incorrect, but they are my own en Alan Burlison Wed, 29 Feb 2012 20:50:00 GMT Pebble (http://pebble.sourceforge.net) http://backend.userland.com/rss http://bleaklow.com/images/misc/logo.gif http://bleaklow.com:80/ http://bleaklow.com:80/2010/05/23/simple_parser_for_movabletype_exports.html <p> As part of moving my blog over to <a href="http://pebble.sourceforge.net/" pebble=""></a> I needed to be able to transfer the content from my old <a href="http://www.movabletype.com/">MovableType</a> blog and my blogs.sun.com blog, which runs on <a href="http://www.movabletype.com/">Roller</a>. Both MT and Roller can export in <a href="http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/docs/mtimport">MovableType export format</a> and Pebble has a MT importer, so it looked relatively straightforward. However when I looked at the content I was importing it was clear I'd need to munge it on its way into Pebble. The Pebble MT importer is one-pass and loads the entries into Pebble as it reads them, whereas I wanted to read them in, munge them and only then load them into Pebble, so I wrote a simple parser to read in the MT export. It's not a thing of great beauty but it got the job done. I thought it might be useful for other people who want to read MovableType exports from Java, so I've put a copy of it <a href="files/2010/MTParser.tar.gz">here</a>. </p> Web Tech Java http://bleaklow.com:80/2010/05/23/simple_parser_for_movabletype_exports.html#comments http://bleaklow.com:80/2010/05/23/simple_parser_for_movabletype_exports.html Sun, 23 May 2010 10:03:00 GMT
