- Paul Boersma, 20180405
- Steps to generate the source file UnicodeData.cpp,
- which is to be put in the sys folder:
- 1. Download UnicodeData.txt from unicode.org.
- 2. Prepend the following header, using a simple text editor:
- code;name;category;combining;bidi;decomp;num1;num2;num3;mirror;dum1;dum2;upper;lower;title
- After this, the file can be read as a Table in Praat with
- "Read Table from semicolon-separated file...".
- After that, the Table can be viewed with "View & Edit",
- and it is easy to extract information with commands such as
- "Extract rows where column (text)..." and "Extract rows where...".
- For information on the meanings of the features, see the attached HTML file and
- the attached UnicodeStandard-10.0.pdf (both from June 2017).
- 3. Run the script UnicodeData.cpp.praat. This creates UnicodeData.cpp.
- The details of the process are discussed in UnicodeData.cpp.praat.
- ## Timing.
- Step 3 is computationally intensive, and therefore a good test of the speed of the
- Praat scripting language.
- The measured time on my Late-2013 MacBook Pro with 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7:
- Praat 6.0.40: XX seconds.
