Guidance on converting .cdxml files to .cdx from the command line

[jbacsa]

Hi, I would like to simply convert a cdxml file to a cdx file from the command line in windows (C:\pycdxml\pycdxml-master\pycdxml). Is there a command line interface that I can use?
Thanks
John

Hi John,

for now it is just a python library so no CLI interface exists. So you will have to create a python environment and write python code (see readme). The code needed is very simple:

from pycdxml import cdxml_converter
doc = cdxml_converter.read_cdxml('/path/to/structure.cdxml')
cdxml_converter.write_cdx_file(doc, '/path/to/structure.cdx')
