Format for making FlashCards

[FiL]

Hello,

Could someone please give me the format rules for making NEW Flash Cards in Pleco with information that I generate.

How are the various fields set out?

Thanks for your help.

It's pretty simple:

characters[opposite set]<tab>pinyin{Jyutping}<tab>definition

one item per line. Gray bits are optional.

Also, be sure to insert a line at the top of the file with the flashcard category name, like this:

//My Flashcard Category

Hello Thanks for your reply

just for clarification,

The below screenshot for creating a new Flash card in Pleco has the following fields to be filled in.

Does it not mean that there have to be FOUR columns in the TEXT file to accomodate the separate fields of information?

1. Simplified Headword
2. Traditional Headword
3. Mandarin Pronunciation
4. Definition

Thanks

That's what the [] brackets are for, but it will fill in one character set if you supply the other.
