Epwing2Anki - Tool For Automatically Generating Anki Vocabulary Cards

I have a request for a feature that Epwing2Anki seems best suited to achieving. I'm wondering that since Epwing dictionaries tend to always list the antonyms for words with ⇔, would it be possible to feed Epwing2Anki a list of words in 1 column and have it detect anything that comes after ⇔ and spit those out into column 2?

For example you give it a .txt document with:

温かい
養父
重視
拡大

it performs a search and extracts anything after ⇔ and then gives you back a 2 column result

温かい   冷たい
養父   実父
重視   軽視
拡大   縮小

and just leaving a blank space when there is no ⇔ in the search result.

Is this just a crazy limited use case scenario that only the likes of my brain would love to see? I wonder if many would find such a feature to be useful or not. Anyway I just wanted to put the feature suggestion out there as I've been thinking about it for a while.

Look what I did! This is the result of just feeding it a .txt file with 4 words. Imagine what it could do with 40000! Probably ignore most of them as they won't have an antonym, but still...

Well, I edited away some of those pesky definitions to make room for my precious antonyms so you can see it does the business. I think it could automagically be made to do away with the readings and definitions and only leave the antonyms (maybe through the fine tune options?). I'm not sure if it's possible to not have it change an input of 温かい to 暖かい・温かい. I wasn't anticipating that, as it'd make it more difficult to then update an existing Anki note set via importing unless you only ever made notes with E2A.

I also just noticed cb hasn't been on in a while. I hope everything's OK!
