# StarDictNet

Rudimentary class lib that can read and write StarDict dictionaries.

Also, a Powershell module which acts as a very basic cli StarDict dictionary lookup program.

# Using Powershell Module

- Add full path of *.ifo files of dictionaries to global variables:

```powershell

$Global:Dict1 = Set-Dict "full/path/to/somedict.ifo"

```

- Optionally, add them to arrays in order to create dictionary groups:

```powershell

$Global:English = @($Dict1, $Dict2, $Dict3, $Dict4)

$Global:French = @($Dict5, $Dict6, $Dict7)

```

- At lines 100 and 154 add full path of **elinks** if it is not in the **PATH**. elinks enable us to display HTML nicely on the terminal.

- Put StarDict.psm1 and StarDictNet.dll right next to your Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1

- Add these 2 lines to your Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1:

```powershell

Import-Module $PSScriptRoot\StarDict.psm1

Set-DictSession

```

* Lookup words:

    - Lookup at a single dictionary:

    ```powershell

    $Dict1 | Get-Def Beleaguered -IgnoreCase <# will match beleaguered also #>

    $Dict1 | Get-DefRegex "^beleag*" <# get words that starts with beleag #>

    $FrenchDict1 | Get-Def "eutes" -IgnoreDiacritics  <# instead of eûtes #>

    ```

    - Lookup at multiple dictionaries:

    ````powershell

    $English | Get-BatchDef "daredevil"

    $Turkce | Get-BatchDefRegex "^\b(\w+)\s\1$" <# search reduplicative words with regex #>

    ````
