rdb-to-sheets

A very simple python script to convert the TXT output from RDB to an Excel Sheet

How to use

1. On Meridian 1 do : LD 21; REQ PRT; TYPE RDB;
2. Copy the output from the first DN up to the last DN listed (see example below)
3. Save to somewhere as a raw txt
4. Use Bash script to set up Python3 VENV, or install requirements.txt things with pip on your system however you please.
5. Run : python3 ./rdb-to-sheets.py /your/rdb/file.txt
6. Enjoy your now converted rdb excel sheet (made in same directory as rdb-to-sheets.py by default, can also be anywhere you desire python3 like this ./rdb-to-sheets.py /your/rdb/file.txt /your/output/rdb/sheet.xslx)

Consideration

1. I know little coding and even less python, I've tested it on my Meridian 1 Option 11e only as thats the only system I own.
2. If you have suggestions on how to improve this feel free to submit those here.
3. If I made something completely wrong in the script its not my responsibility.
4. Have fun !
