Is there some application that transforms the handviewer page into a pbn file?
For example this:

This is what I do:

1. I copy the URL into a spreadsheet in A1.

2. I strip every up to an including "lin=". In A2 use this formula: =right(a1,len(a)-find("lin=",a1)-3)

3. I replace %20 with a space. In A3 use this formula: =substitute(b1,"%20"," ")

4. I then copy the hands into a text file and save as hands.lin

5. I then use Bridge Composer but there are other lin to pbn converters to create a pbn file.

Steps 2 and 3 could be combined into a single forumala =substitute(right(a1,len(a)-find("lin=",a1)-3),"%20"," ").

I have written spreadsheet code previously to convert things like this URL into pbn but I don't think I have anything that does the entire conversion. I have only done things like extract part of the information - maybe the hands and dealer and vul but not the card play.

You could try
http://www.himbuv.co.../english/lin_en

Basically what you are asking is a converter content of a lin file to a pbn file.

there is an old program by Richard Pavlice

But this is just one opton, on the forum other methods are mentioned.
With kind regards

The bridgesolver add on for Chrome will read a handviewer diagram in the current page and can save to file in pbn format - I don't remember if that extends to all details including explanations and sequence of play.

BBO Helper will download entire tourneys into a PBN file via the MyHands page.
It is a browser addon.

playing daily tournaments, I would like to immediately re-evaluate the hands I have played, without waiting for the next day. They can be opened immediately with hand viewer, but my problem is analyzing them with my software that only uses pbn

Did you read and understand the replies above? Mine and others explained how you can reach pbn format.

But if all you want is to immediately analyse the board double dummy, all you need is the bridge helper add-on to Chrome. If you also want to see the impact of leads, or certain play sequences, then bridge solver as mentioned.
