Historic Text Pre-Processor

Dmitry · Oct 29th 2018, 11:47pm

This is a tool which is aimed to simplify a creation of historic files. It can generate a text for historic files from such sources:

weltfussball.de
RSSSF.com
WildStat.com
fussballzz.de
transfermarkt.de

The tool comes with a User Guide with a quck explanation on how the tool works. Basically, you just need to copy-paste the text with results and setup team Unique IDs.
Thanks to @Lukas for his ideas which were used during the development.

Is it also possible to create a matchday editor (may with soccerway or something like that?)

Might be possible, but I'm not planning to do this in nearest future.

Updated to 1.2:
Added transfermarkt.de support
Added German (made by @alaba) and Russian translations.

Note: for transfermarkt.de/com you need to copy this data:

Has anyone else already tried the conversion from transfermarkt?
I always receive the error message that no matches were found, no matter which transfermarkt version (German, English, etc.) or league. Transfermarkt is also not automatically detected as source, when I paste the schedule from Transfermarkt.
While copying from transfermarkt, it looks exactly like the screenshot above in Dmitrys post.

Maybe, someone else can try and confirm that it's either an error on my side or in the tool.

1. Are you sure you are using the latest version of the tool - do you see the 'transfermarkt' item in the combo box?
2. Does your text start with "1.MATCHDAY" or "1. SPIELTAG"?

@Lukas ich habe es gerade mal mit der Premier League ausprobiert und bekomme keine Fehlermeldung.
Diesen Link habe ich verwendet: transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-le…bewerb/GB1/saison_id/2017

For the English Premier League it works.
This link I used: transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-le…bewerb/GB1/saison_id/2017

Already guessed that it was an error on my side.

That was the important hint. When I copied the fixtures and pasted it to the tool, MATCHDAY and SPIELTAG were no longer written in capital letters, but in lower case ("Matchday" and "Spieltag"). When I change it to capital letters again, everything works fine.
Thanks for your help and for the updated tool. :thumbsup:

Hello @Dmitry, would it be possible to add support for two other sources, if you have time for it?

- resultados-futbol.com: This would be the most important addition, since it covers a lot of especially older seasons and lower leagues, for which I couldn't find schedules on any other webpage. (Link to example for complete schedule)
- flashscore.com: Has also quite a few additional schedules for smaller and lower leagues (example schedule).

They work both with manually converting them to the RSSSF-layout, but it would be still save some time, if the tool would be compatible with these websites.

Thank you!

Hello @Dmitry!
Just the information that weltfussball.de has changed their format in the schedules (e.g. Spain), so that this tool seems to no longer process the schedules from Weltfußball. Looks like they included some additional tabs.

Since Weltfußball is the most convenient source, a fix would be highly appreciated.
Thank you!

Test 1.3

Lukas · Jan 28th 2021, 10:06am

Thank you for the fast fix.
I tested it and it works now for weltfussball.de again.
However, I now have an issue with transfermarkt.de. For all the matches that have a date before the time, the processor no longer identifies these as matches. Therefore, since the Spanish league is usually played on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, usually, the three first matches of each day are missing, due to their date entry.
The conversion from the other websites still works fine.

I can't reproduce this. Which season?

Spain 2019/20, 2018/19, 2017/18. I haven't tested more in Spain, but I guess, this is the same for every year.
I have also tested the issue with Germany 2019/20, Italy 2018/19, France 2017/18, Sweden 2016, and Norway 2015.
For all, the issue is the same: Whenever there is a date before the game, the game is not recognized.

Dmitry · Jan 30th 2021, 10:16pm

I tested Spain 19/20, it worked. I tried both German and English versions. Could be a browser issue?

Lukas · Jan 30th 2021, 11:02pm

I figured it out after seeing the picture you posted.
I have two tabs between date and time, while you only have one, which means it most likely has to do with the Browser (Firefox).
When deleting one of the two tabs, it works again.
