Script to create monsters from stat blocks

Hello, I'm going through and trying to fully populate a mega dungeon and I want to create the monster statistics by importing from pasting a statblock into a new character somewhere. I thought there was a script that did something like that. Can anyone please point me in the correct direction? Thank you in advance,

Vince - I am playing a pathfinder game currently. Sorry for being ambigious. Thank you, Aaron - I will have to try that when I get home.

You can try [Script] Pathfinder Mob/Character Importer I think you may have some issues with it working correctly with the implementation of community character sheets. Good luck. BTW I would be interested if you get this to work.
Flawless victory! I haven't tried anything with special abilities yet; but so far so good. Thank you very much!

NP. Nice to hear. I'm always leary of older/closed threads. Please share your experience.
So far so good. What I'm doing is copying the statblock to notepad, then copying into the GM notes. From there I'm just running: `!CreateMob y y` and it fills out the macros I need. It's not updating the character sheet which I want, but this is quick and easy enough for my current needs. If I need something speical during combat I will open up the character notes and go from there.

I know there are many GM/DM's that just copy/paste into the GM notes or Bio and don't bother with the sheet. I usually fill in the NPC section of the sheet and the Bio for npc's/monsters. This gets time consuming. I might give this script a try. Thanks for sharing.
No problem. I really would like the script to get updated to fill in the specific character sheet values, but no luck yet. Maybe one day I'll go through and modify the code but right now my life is too busy.

Humm... Well that would explain why it likes to create macros. :) Thank you,
