some PGN2FEN help needed

[GenoM]

Hi
Is there any utility that makes fen files from the final positions of the games in pgn file?

I found Remi Coulom's and Tim Foden's but their programs seems to make fen-strings after each move of the pgn-games.

Regards,
Geno

Hi
I think I found the solution -- it seems pgn-extract can do this

[Norm Pollock]

What are the pgn-extract parameters to do this?

Hi
This wasn't so easy I think
The problem is that I made it but cannot remember exact steps.
To do this you has to make
At first:

pgn-extract -F Karpov.pgn >KarpovFEN.pgn

this makes a file with this output:
[Event "?"]
[Site "corres ARG"]
[Date "1960.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Karpov Anatoli"]
[Black "Dimnov"]
[Result "1-0"]
[ECO "C37"]

You have to edit this file to replace all { in the beginning and all } in the end and add FEN to the beginning of FEN-strings. I made it in Wordpad.

Then from this place - http://www.avlerchess.com/chess-compute ... 00832.html
- i found this:
"Hi Jeff-

J.W. Cleveland did post this nifty DOS solution on "ccc"

==============================================================

If you are running windows, open a dos box, cd to the directory where your file
is, and type:
find "[FEN" myfile.pgn >fen.txt
where myfile.pgn is the name of the pgn file. This should put just the fen lines
in fen.txt. Load this file in a word processor, do 2 replace all to get rid of
the [FEN " and the "] save it as text and you should have it."

Of course you have to change "[FEN" to what is in your file.
That was all i think.
