The thing is, I don't have the copyrights. I just downloaded the recipes from Glen's MealMaster archive and imported it. But MealMaster is human readable text if you just want to look at the data.
- jakear 6y agoThanks, found the archive but looks like the “140,000 more recipes” link is dead. How did you deal with the ambiguity in representation of ingredients? For instance, looking through some examples it seems like an ingredient description can continue onto two lines, and that is indistinguishable from an ingredient followed by an ingredient with no measurement. Ed: also, do you intelligently deal with the “or” clauses in some ingredient lists? It seems their syntax is ill defined as well.
- wedesoft 6y agoI am not sure which link you mean. Glen's Mealmaster archive is here: http://thehoseys.org/buster/recipes.html http://thehoseys.org/buster/recipes.html
- wedesoft 6y agoAn ingredient continuation line has to start with a "-". Otherwise the software can't recognise it. There is no intelligence in the parser.
- jakear 6y agoInteresting, a quick manual parse suggests that would work for a majority of cases, but there is definitely a sizable minority of recipes playing fast and loose with formatting.
