Anyone use Hanzi Helper and PlecoDict? If so, do you know how to export HH data to Pleco?

 

I've exported as a .txt file, but can't get it into Pleco on my Palm.

 

Also, if anyone knows, I'd love to know how to export HH to Dragon Character Training.

 

Thanks!

Just realized that before I can transfer .txt files to my Palm, I need to buy an SD card. If anyone knows the steps to export to Dragon, I'd still love to know that one...

I tried exporting from Hanzi Helper via its File|Export|Dragon Char menu item but I got an error message ("string index out of range"). All of the other export types seemed to work. Since Hanzi Helper hasn't been updated in over a year, I tried running it with earlier versions of Java but got the same error message when trying to export. The format of the dataset for Dragon Character Training seems to be a mystery. There doesn't appear to be any documentation for it so you would have to look through the code to figure it out. It looks like this hasn't been updated in almost three years so I don't have much hope for it. I'm curious on how you use Hanzi Helper. Do you prefer it over
