Hi,

When you run the mpd command, you can specify either book.bin or '-' (stdout) for the output book. With the second option, you obtain the book in XML-like human readable format, and you can store it to a file using the shell syntax:

mpd ... your options here ... - > book.xml

If you have an existing file in binary format, you can convert it to XML-like with the mpf command, by specifying no filtering option and choosing stdout as the output method

mpf book.bin - > book.xml

I hope this helps,

Remi.

Hi,

Using the precompiled binary of MPTK 0.5.6 on winXP, I've noticed that the book file format produced by command line mpd differs from that produced by mptk-gui. The former is raw binary while the latter is human readable xml in binary format. Both are valid and produce the same result with mpr. However I need the second format for parsing and analysis of the book. Is there any way to call mpd from command line and produce the same format from mptk-gui? Or any way I can convert between the 2 forms?

Regards,
Dillion
