This is my library. I forked ctrl-alt-dev’s version and added proper support for arrays and nested groups. Bad news is it’s very slow, especially for tables with a lot of columns.
It theoretically supports arrays of groups also, but I never got around to writing the code to generate a TPS file to test. I don’t think the dictionary editor supports it (for C5.5 and C6 at least), so I don’t know if that’s something that would appear in the wild. https://github.com/Trinitek/TpsParser/issues/2

Mark, thank you for creating this thread. I’m not sure how many folks will need it but it’s nice to have this resource in case someone does. I have a side project - a bulk dictionary editor - that I may integrate this functionality somehow.
