Import sng song-file (Songselect)

1

Hi,
i would like to import my songs trough the import function, i get my files from Songselect and its either a .sng or an -txt file, i would like to import the -sng file so the ccli number and so on are directly added in the corect field.

If somone could either show me an way to do it or lead me to where i maybe add a proper importer myself i would really appreciate that.

Example file

Name:

Above All.sng

Verse 1
Above all powers above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
---
Verse 2
Above all kingdoms above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure
What You're worth

Chorus 1
Crucified laid behind the stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

(There is a “Presentation Manager” .sng importer but it is not compatible.)

You could transform manually your .sng song file into a Plain Text file that can be imported by Quelea by using an editor like Notepad++. Make sure your text file is in the UTF-8 characterset.

I have about 150 songs where 50 are used regularly, i would prefer to automate that in some way.

4

Wrote a simple script that formats the songs in the right way to import.

Where can i close this topic?

5

So i got asked about the script i wrote, and it wasn´t really presantable.
I now made it cleaner and also a little improvment.

The Code:

mkdir ./out/ -p
for file in ./*.sng
do

	tr -cd '\11\12\40-\176' < "$file" > "./out/$file"
	diff $file "./out/$file" -q
done

And The Explonation:

Copy the script to the folder with the sng files and execute it.
There will be made a subfolder named out where the cleaned files are pasted.
If there is no output there where no caracters removed and your problem lies in a other place
