Differentiating hard from easy in Ankidroid notes .txt export

AnkiDroid (Android) Help

Ankidroid notes .txt export doesn’t clearly differentiate Hard from Easy.

Starting from a 5000 word vocabulary deck, I have done 1000 words and tagged them easy or hard and exported to txt. The export doesn’t clearly differentiate hard from easy. For example this was was easy and placed at line 4120 of 5000 in the export:
mal (adv) badly (adv) 301 0500 adv

What do the 2 integers indicate? The 2nd seems to be 0500 if it’s not a new word. Does the other integer indicate hard or easy?

The export contains words grouped by type <e.g. (v) verb>, sorted alphabetically, with new/untested words listed first

I have tried both Ankidroid export types, notes and cards.
Also tried unzipping .apkg and opening in DB Browser (SQLCipher). No joy. Smaller file, collection.db, is a list of tables & queries, larger file, collection2.db, requires a password to open.

My purpose is to filter out Easy, Good & Untested/New words leaving only Hard.

Thanks for any help you can give to do this.

Anki doesn’t add answer ratings to exported .txt files. You need to export them as .apkg.

There is an easier way though:

  • You can search for cards answer “Hard” in the past x days with rated:x:2. For easy: rated:x:4.
  • If you actually tagged them “Hard” or “Easy”, you can search for them like this tag:Hard or tag:easy.

See the manual for more details.

Those must be part of your deck, probably frequency numbers.
