Exporting Pleco Dictionaries

[ShuaiZhongWei]

Is there any way to export a dictionary that was created for Pleco (*.pdb) into a txt file? If not, is it possible to convert them into any other standard format so that I can directly edit / copy / paste to and from the dictionary? Are there any programs that I can use to open the file for this purpose? Thanks!

Well not the built-in ones (that would create some serious copyright issues), but with a user-created dictionary, if you add all of its entries to a flashcard list and then use the flashcard Export command with "include user entry text" enabled, you'll end up with a text dump of the dictionary.

Funny - I thought about that, but I don't have the time it would require to flip through every character and hit the "add" button. No other way to do it, huh? Thanks for the reply.
