bbcode forum 2 bbpress forum

[bigbass]

bb2bbpress
this is an odd tool but shows a way you can convert code
from one forum to another ( or any code for that matter )that uses different code syntax

it was made because one of the forums I use regularly
uses bbcode and we had some down time and started a new forum with bbpress
anyway the code syntax is very different and I have several hundreds
of posts I want to backup and that would just take too much time to
do

so bb2bbpress was born
updated Dec 6 2011 to fix the http bla bla "see here" links
www.puppy2.org/slaxer/bb2bbpress-1.1-4_SLXR.tgz
its a command line tool
you just open the thread post you want to convert the forum syntax
select text copy and paste to save it as a file then run

bb2bbpress /some file

the result will get a *.bbpress-fixed
name and then that is used for you to post into the bbpress forum

*I am not promoting bbpress I am just a forum user
that has to adjust to new syntax for making a post

I am using this to fix code from one forum format to another
many other possibilities
of changing code synatax from one language to another is possible and easy
how about a qbasic2bacon
that would be fun
