# tag2thesaurus(1p)

transform a tagdictionary into a thesaurus

## NAME

tag2thesaurus - transform a tagdictionary into a thesaurus

## SYNOPSIS

```
 tag2thesaurus baselang tagdictionary
```

## DESCRIPTION

tag2thesaurus converts tag-format in thesaurus-format

Input file should follow the following tag-format

```
 lang1  t11
 lang2  t12
 rel ...
 lang1  t21
 lang2  t22
 rel ...
```

`"tag2thesaurus lang2 file"` output looks like:

```
 %baselang lang2
 t12
 lang1  t11
 rel ...
 t22
 lang1  t21
 rel ...
```

### Options

```
 -fs='::'   field separator (def \n)
 -rs='\n'   record separatos (def "\n\n")
 -fss='='   fiels separator2 (def \s+)
```

Example: if the file has the following format

```
 L1=v11 :: L2= v21 :: Ln= vn1
 L1=v12 :: L2= v22 :: Ln= vn2
```

the command

```
 tag2thesaurus -rs='\n' -fs='::' -fss='=' L2 file
```

would produce thesaurus :

```
 %baselang L2
 v21
 L1   v11
 Ln   vn1
 v22
 L1   v12
 Ln   vn2
```

### Errors and Warnings

Each entry must have a term in the baselanguage (otherwise, it is created one named "undef term 1").

Each entry should have just one term in the baselanguage (the first one will be taken as the term, the other became `"SYN-baselang"` ).
