if you are converting an existing contrib with a formMagick panel, then you will want to use the current files as a basis for the re-write.

Create a sed script file (cnv_lexi.vi):<syntaxhighlight lang="text">

</syntaxhighlight>Then the shell script to run it: (extractlex.sh):<syntaxhighlight>

sed -f cnv_lexi.vi /etc/e-smith/locale/en-us/etc/e-smith/web/functions/$1 $1.res | tr "\n" "~" | sed 's/\s+~/~/g' | sed 's/~,/,/g' | sed "s/~'~/'/g" | sed s/"~',~'/',~/g" | tr "~" "\n" > $1.lex

 

</syntaxhighlight>Run it by: ./extractlexi.sh dhcpd"

</syntaxhighlight>I'll setup a geany project with all the above files open in tabs.  Opening the editor project will open all the files in one go, assuming that the mapping to SME10 is live (sometime I have to manually mount it in Nemo, epseically after the desktop has been suspended for a while).
