CSV Character Extractor

Csv Character Extractor workflow and functionality

This is a small tool to find all unique characters of a csv. The collected information can be used in order to know which specific characters of a language need to be supported. This tool was developed to create font assets for textmesh pro with just the characters you need. This is especially useful for languages like korean, japanese or chinese.

Input

  • Input file can be dfined in config.xml, default value is "in/example.csv"
  • Languages are defined in columns, first column defines the language name (see example.csv)
  • Column ID and Description will be ignored
  • Newline (\n) and all emojis will be ignored

Output

  • Text files are created for each language and named "ColumnName.txt". Output path can be defined in config.xml
  • One file per column, expecting to have one language per column

Requirements

Download

Run

  • Windows: Doubleclick Run.bat
  • Windows, Mac, Linux: Run java -jar CsvCharacterExtractor.jar in the terminal

Config usage

  • Paths can be relative, e.g. in/example.csv
  • Paths can be absolute, e.g. C:/Users/UserName/Documents/LanguageCharacterFiles/
  • Use forward slashes only /
