hebrew.m

IK's Hebrew flashcards function. It loads Hebrew vocabulary spreadsheets stored next to the function, including nouns, adjectives, verbs, question words, and other word-class files. Each spreadsheet contains English prompts and the relevant Hebrew grammatical forms; incomplete entries and entries without Hebrew text are ignored. The Excel files should contain Hebrew vocabulary in separate spreadsheets:

      nouns.xlsx - English, masculine singular, feminine singular,
                   masculine plural, feminine plural, invariant,
                   notes

Syntax

    hebrew()
    hebrew(mode)
    ncards=hebrew(mode,max_cards)
    hebrew('gui')

Parameters

    mode      - 'forward', 'backward', 'both', or 'gui'. In forward
                mode, English is shown first and Hebrew is revealed
                after <Enter>. In backward mode, Hebrew is shown first
                and English is revealed after <Enter>. In both mode,
                the direction is random on every card. Default is 'both'

    max_cards - maximum number of cards to show. Use zero to load the
                spreadsheets, return the card count, and exit

Outputs

    ncards - number of usable flashcards loaded from the spreadsheets

Notes

Open-ended command-line runs are stopped with CTRL+C. In GUI mode, a one-button graphical flashcard window is opened; the button reveals the answer on the first click and advances to another randomly selected card on the second click.
