I'm working on a unit viewer. I can pull most of the data I need from the unit excel sheet on Sunrays site.
However I would also like to include the "flavor" text found in the unit detail screen. I've run screen captures of each unit detail screen through an OCR program, but I haven't gotten consistent enough results to automatically pull out the flavor text.
The text needs be gone over manually to fix minor errors and to format in a way that I can import it into my database. It’s a tedious process but if several people help it shouldn't be too bad.
Basically I just want to leave the unit name, the flavor text, and the weapons and armor information. The unit title should be on its on line. Then the flavor text (with all returns deleted) on the second, then the Weapons and Armor. Then their needs to be a blank line and then the next unit.
I've done the first 10 in a separate file. If you open it in WordPad it will be very clear how it needs to be formatted.
If you are interested in helping you can go to

Download and unzip "correct.zip" to see how it needs to be formatted. Then pick one of the other zip files, download it, format the text, and then send it back to me. I've broken the 1096 units into Groups of 50. That just about the amount you can do at one time before starting to go insane
If you decide to do a batch post it here so others can grab a different one.
Once I get all the files back I can import it into my "soon to be searchable unit browser" program.
I can also compile it all together into one file so other modders can have easy access to it.
Post any questions here and thanks for your help!!
