Exporting flashcards to include tone marks

[pprendeville]

Is there a way of exporting flashcards from Pleco to include pinyin tonal marks? Or is it possible to export and then have automatically done online, just copy and paste the words one wants done? When I export a list of flashcards from Pleco at present as a text file it gives 3 pieces of info, namely, the Chinese character, the pinyin with numbers beside it and the English meaning (possibility of including more but these are all I want along with tonal marks).

I like using StickyStudy along with Pleco flashcards simply due to SS having a good visual aspect to it and it has a simple interface. However it needs cards imported with these 4 formats as follows to function best: Chinese character, Pinyin number, Pinyin tone, English meaning. I could add the tone manually by editing each card but would like to check if it's possible to just export the way I need.

You could edit the text file exported from Pleco using Word or any text editor. The text file should look something like this:

好<<tab>>hao3<<tab>>good
...

All that should be necessary is to search and replace the "3<<tab>>" sequence by a "<<tab>>3<<tab>>" sequence for each of the pinyin tone numbers from 1-5. (or use the "Any digit" field) If you need the pinyin tone to be in front of the pinyin syllable, you could switch their order in Excel, then copy the columns back into the text editor, then import into StickyStudy. If you require conversion into actual tone marks (as in "hǎo"), Wenlin does a great job.
