# poclean

This is a rudimentary tool to produce a clean file from an unclean file (Trados/Wordfast) by stripping out the tw4win indicators.

## Usage

    poclean <input> <output>

Where:

<input> | is the text versions of the unclean RTF files
<output> | is the intended output file / directory

Options:

--version | show program’s version number and exit
-h, --help | show this help message and exit
--manpage | output a manpage based on the help
--progress=PROGRESS | show progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose
--errorlevel=ERRORLEVEL | show errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback
-iINPUT, --input=INPUT | read from INPUT in pot format
-xEXCLUDE, --exclude=EXCLUDE | exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths
-oOUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT | write to OUTPUT in po, pot formats
-tTEMPLATE, --template=TEMPLATE | read from TEMPLATE in po, pot formats
--psyco=MODE | use psyco to speed up the operation, modes: none, full, profile

## Examples

To create a text version of the unclean RTF file, you need UnRTF, available here: project site or here (windows).

    unrtf translation.rtf  --text > translation.po

You might need to convert the encoding of the file, with iconv, for example:

    iconv -f latin1 -t utf-8 translation.po > new_translation.po

Now you can clean the file with poclean

    poclean new_translation.po clean_translation.po
