Fast Table entry

Hi - I am building my own game system, and need to create a bunch of tables with 100 unique entries each. It would be grand to be able to provide bulk load option.

I faintly remember there is or was an API (pro subscription feature) script that might do what you want. You could ask in the API forum about it.

Martin, like Pat said, there are scripts that one can use to build tables fast out of Excel or any text file really. Here is a link to something I wrote about how I used it several years ago. Table Export and Excel* Hope it helps.
It would really be nice to not need a script to make a table out of excel/gsheets, though. Especially if you're a poor like me and have more important things to spend money on than a Pro subscription, like food and rent.

We are not saying your suggestion is unworthy or poor. We are just indicating there is an existing method already. The cool thing is that you could do all the prep work of building the various tables in excel or text (maybe?) then spend 10 dollars for a month, use the script to build your tables and let the sub run out. You would have your tables and be out 10 dollars. I understand the poor part. I had to use almost a weeks vacation to keep my job when I did not have the gas to go to work.
