Vocabulary list export

Any subset of vocabulary can be exported to this format from Vocabulary window.

First line must contain "WaKan Word List 1". Lines beginning with ; are comments. Blank lines are ignored.

Each word is identified by four lines:

  1. reading of the word (Unicode in hex)
  2. writing of the word (Unicode in hex)
  3. english meaning
  4. category in the format <language>~<category type><category name>

CSV vocabulary export

The entire vocabulary can be exported to this format from Settings\Database maintenance page.

First character of each line:

  • $ - Table with the given table name begins here
  • > - List of table columns separated by ;
  • + - Record in the table, each field is separated by ;
  • . - End of table

Comments are allowed before the first >, comment lines must start with ; symbol. Note: Wakan versions prior to 1.8.19-dev do not allow comments in this way.

Exported file contains following tables:

  • User: List of vocabulary words (PhoneticSort is a sort order of readings, dates are given in YYYYMMDD format, Score: 0-problematic, 1-unlearned, 2-learned, 3-mastered, MaxScore: maximum attained score)
  • UserIdx: List of characters appearing in vocabulary words (Kanji is Unicode index of the character, Begin is T or F - T when the character is at the beginning of the word)
