Import from file in the db
I have to import a long number of short articles from a text file format. Is there a way to use a sql syntax to do this automatically? Can someone post an example o reference to an existing one?
I don’t know how this could be done and how many db table are involved. I’m not a programmer, so any tips would be apreciated. Thanks.

Re: Import from file in the db
Try formatting those articles in a text editor and using the Import feature . I did it once using movable type file format and it worked out pretty good.
You’ll have to check out the formatting rules first.

Oh-oh-ooooh!… I totally missed that feature (thought was for importing from other blog tools only!).
Looks exactly what I was looking for! I’ll give it a check. Thanks very much, Mrdale!
