Thanks! (I would have done it in Basic, certainly not as condensed...)
But now, what's the best/simplest way to run that Perl script?

I see you changed the format to suit Fritz GUI to get evals right in the graph.
Hi Martin,
Can you have a look at
http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopi ... 436#392436,
and Matthias's answer?
Then why don't you
set ChessGUI's PGNs so that they are readable, with Evaluation Profile, in the Fritz GUI?
Thanks!

I can't use Chessbase format because I use many sets of comments that is not a part of the Chessbase PGN standard.
Pal Larkin is only using 3 set of comments in the PGN:
22.Ne5 {[%eval 69,20] [%emt 00:01:46] [%clk 0:48:27]}
(eval - move time - clock)
While I am using:
11.d4 { ev=0.11, d=23, pd=cxd3, mt=00:07:34, tl=02:22:25, s=600 kN/s, pv=d2d4 c4d3 c2d3 e5e2 e1e2 h7h6 g5f3 e6e5 b1d2, tb=0, R50=50, }
(eval - depth - ponder move - move time - clock - speed - pv - tablebase hits - distance to 50-move rule)
Many of the comments that I use does not exist in Chessbase format.
Matthias can probably elaborate further, but I remember discussing this with him during the start of TCEC a while ago.
Best,
Martin

If I mess up the format of ChessBase, they can jail me

Hi Martin,
why so many comments necessary ?
what is the sense ?
I would also prefer you do just as Pal Larkin does.
Thanks

Carsten,
Without comments my live page would be useless.

I can understand that you would prefer it differently since you want the eval and clocks to fit Chessbase GUI.
But I simply have no choice on this matter right now.
Best,
Martin

Matthias.
Hi Matthias,
Is it possible to use ChessGUI for converting Martin's PGN into Pal's PGN?

Houdini broke through in Game 23 to go up 6-1 in wins, but then Rybka reeled off 3 straight to reduce the margin to 6-4, currently at Game 28.

Ernest, I'm sorry that I missed your question. I have not used Perl on Windows for many years, but the easiest way might be:
Install Strawberry Perl. Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder with both the PGN files and the script (saved as a text file named convert_pgn.pl). Then run:
perl convert_pgn.pl input.pgn > output.pgn
to create the PGN file.
It may be easier to find a text editor that supports regular expression search & replace. That's all the first script does...
