Parsing application for Radboud University evaluations, for use by the OLC Informatica.

Parsing application for Radboud University evaluations. [https://github.com/Wassasin/vakkenranking]
Usage: ./vakkenranking [options]

General options:
  -h [ --help ]           display this message
  -t [ --outputtype ] arg {html, csv} (defaults to html)
  -d [ --datadir ] arg    specify in which directory to search for the data 
                          files (default ./data)

In the datadir you need the following:

• A file mapping.csv mapping new courses to old courses (in that order), or with the entry new. Note: if you have nothing to map, you must still supply an empty mapping.csv file.

IPC021,IBI002
IPC019,IPC012
IPC020,new
IBC018,new

• A directory new containing the xls evaluations for the current semester or year, converted to csv. Note that these need to be directly below new, and not in their individual course directories.
• A directory old containing the same evaluations, but for the previous year.

The course codes from both years are matched, but can be overruled by the mapping.csv file. xls evaluations can be converted using libreoffice:

$ libreoffice --headless --convert-to csv $filename --outdir $outdir

Converting from the course directory structure to a flat directory with csv files can typically be done as follows:

mkdir xls_evals
find directory_with_courses -iname '*.xls' -exec cp {} xls_evals \;
mkdir csv_evals
for i in xls_evals/*; do libreoffice --headless --convert-to csv $i --outdir csv_evals; done

The mapping.csv file can be used for the cloaca project. The OLC website contains example vakkenranking html files, as for example the 2012 vakkenranking.

vakkenranking can be compiled using at least Clang 3.2 or higher.

Compilation has been tested with the following setups:

• Ubuntu 13.10, Clang 3.2
• Ubuntu 14.04, Clang 3.4

This software project uses the following packages:

• Boost with {system, filesystem, regex, program_options}

vakkenranking can be built using cmake.

$ ./cmake-linux
$ cd build
$ make
