Johnuniq: purpose is to prepare units data

purpose is to prepare units data

New page

The purpose of this module is to prepare the data used by [[Module:Convert]] to allow conversion between units of measurement.

This module is run on a stand-alone computer—it currently will not run as a module because it uses <code>loadstring()</code> to evaluate expressions, and that is not allowed in Scribunto.

This script reads wikitext defining units, and outputs a Lua script with tables containing that data:
*The input is the wikitext at [[User:Johnuniq/Conversion data]].
*The output is manually copied to [[Module:Convert/data]] to replace its current contents.

The <code>set_builtins()</code> function inserts a small amount of "built-in" data that is not currently defined in the input wikitext.

To run the script, edit the above conversion data page and copy its wikitext to a local file, say <code>wikidata.txt</code>. Alternatively, the [[wget]] command can be used to get the wikitext, as shown below. With the script saved in file <code>makeunits.lua</code>, use the command line to run.

<pre>
wget -O wikidata.txt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Johnuniq/Conversion_data?action=raw
lua makeunits.lua wikidata.txt
</pre>

On some systems, "<code>lua</code>" is not needed.
