Is there a good way to paste LG Hex game records into Jhex?

Or is there a tool that supplants Jhex?

Dvd, see this thread for a ruby script that will download any LG hex game to your computer in native Jhex format. The swap move is dealt with as follows: 1.C5 2.swap is turned into 1.E3 2.E3

Would you find an online tool like this useful if it supports Hex?
31 Jan 2013
I certainly would :)

The latest version of Jhex (and also Jtwixt), 0.9a2, imports LG game records, either as plain text ("simple" format) or the LG variant of SGF (select "LGSGF" on the pop-up menu).

What I usually do is copy text from the LG game page and paste it into the Jhex import window -- cmd-I cmd-A cmd-V. It's OK to past formatted text (at least on MacOSX), and it's OK to include superfluous text before and after the game record. Just don't include anything that looks like a move, like "1. a3...".
Be sure to manually select the size of the board (13 or 19) from the pop-up menu.

Another option: I have a HSGF->HGT server at

Thanks to the trmph.com people: your work
spurred me to upgrade my own code to do the
download-HSGF-from-LG-for-you-behind-the-scenes thing.
