Are you familiar with OpenRefine? It would take some work, but you could copy/paste this into a text file and wangle it thusly. The Transpose function will convert row headings into columns.


The text file itself will require some cleanup before the cleanup in OpenRefine. A reader like Notepad++ that allows mass edits with Regular Expressions (RegEx) will help.


Of course, I intend to mess with this on my own. If I get it to something I like, I'll share it.

Subject: [EXT] [ARSCLIST] anyone database-ized Brian Rust's: Jazz Records 1917–1934?

It is a huge help that the pdf is available (thank you Mainspring!).   I
would like to use it for automatically finding dates for records in the
Great 78 Project and point back to the right page in the book.

To do this I need it in a format like a CSV (but can convert it from any
other database-like format)

    Label, catno, matrix, performer, title, date, page-number

Does anyone have any databased version of this?   It must have started
out in such a thing.

Thank you!
