txt2inc

Shell program to convert any text file content as Pascal quoted string variable

Requirement

• FreePascal >= 3.0

Compilation

Clone this repository and run FreePascal compiler.

$ fpc txt2inc.pas

Run

$ ./txt2inc /path/to/input/text/file /path/to/output/file variableName

For example, if content of /path/to/input/text/file is like following

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
    <a href="link.html">Link</a>
</body>
</html>

Then output file will contain text as below

variableName : string =
'   <html>' + LineEnding +
'   <head></head>' + LineEnding +
'   <body>' + LineEnding +
'       <a href="link.html">Link</a>' + LineEnding +
'   </body>' + LineEnding +
'   </html>';

Which actually a valid Pascal string variable declaration, which then can be included in Pascal program/unit source code.

var

    {$INCLUDE output.inc}
