Convert ProMash .rec files to XML

[twitt]

The site below has a program you can download to convert ProMash's .rec file types to XML.

EDIT: The link above only converts a .rec file to a BeerXML file type. If you want to convert your .rec or BeerXML file into BBCode, HTML, or plain text, then click the link below in mcreale's post.

Hey, I'll do you one better.

I just built a little windows app to wrap the converter. Now you can feed in a .rec or beerxml file, and spit out bbcode (for forums), HTML, or plaintext. That way, if you get a recipe file, but don't have promash, it won't be a problem... or if you do have promash, you can convert your .rec files to a forum readable format easily.

you can download it at:http://beerconverter.codeplex.com.

If you have problems just add an issue on the Codeplex site and I'll take a look.

The converter works nicely. It doesn't seem to capture much of the mash schedule... still pretty cool!
