import re, sys
outFile = None
blockSize=310
counter=0
fileCounter=1
outFile = open("mthesaur_%03d.txt" % fileCounter, "w")
for line in open("mthesaur.txt"):

  counter += 1
  first = re.sub(r",.*", "", line.rstrip())
  firstLetter = first[0].lower()
  if counter > blockSize:
    outFile.close()
    fileCounter+=1
    outFile = open("mthesaur_%03d.txt" % fileCounter, "w")
    counter = 0
  print("==" + first + "==", file=outFile)
  line = re.sub(r"([ a-zA-Z0-9-]*)", r"[[\1]]", line.rstrip())
  line = re.sub(",", ", ", line)
  line = re.sub("^", "* ", line)
  print(line, file=outFile)
  print("", file=outFile)
