Look around for a library for what ever language you are working it for Yaml. You can find a list of them at http://yaml.org/

The cert* files from https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/dump/latest/ may be of interest.

The numbers you're seeing (other than the 1-5 ones) are what we call typeids. They refer to rows in invtypes (also available from the dump)

This is because it takes less space to store numbers, and comparing them is also faster.

If you're working in excel, or another spreadsheet, the function you want is vlookup, where you can have it look up a number from a list, and return a specific column from a found row.

Woo! CSM XI!

Yaml sucks full stop. It was a weak idea almost a decade ago, and I hate working with it. In the .NET space, the sanest approach is YamlDotNet (available on nuget), but the code is about as painful as the nonsense of walking xml.

well okay i got the certificates and the typeids, how do i put them together at least into .txt file? yamldotnet doesn't work for ubuntu, and i watched videos about working yaml and they were a bit too complicated and where about something else.
