Hello,
I wonder if there is a tool that can create a dsl dictionary out of a text or xls or csv files . bearing in mind that each file contains thousands of entries.
I find it difficult to write the entries and their tags and formats in a notepad . thanks alot. :?:

There are no such compilers, since all the input files are different and it is impossible to write a tool that handles unknown formats.

What is typically done in such a case is: converting from XLS or CSV file to a simple text file and then using regular expressions to morph it into a proper DSL file.
