Guest Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 ok... I have figured out how to succesfully get the original .txt file to upload adding one product, using notepad. My information is seperated by a semi colon in the notepad vs tab delimited. I reallly don't want to go through the pain of adding 1000 products in notepad and would much rather do it in EXCEL. The problem is when I bring it into EXCEL and save it as a .txt (tab delimited) file it will not upload to EP. So I try to bring it into Notpad then save it as .txt, it still will not upload. My question is what am I missing, what am I not doing in-correctly. It appears that EP will only accept my file if it seperated by semi-colons not tab delimited. thanks!

Leslie <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did you change your easypopulate.php file as instructed? You should // out the line that refers to semi-colon as the seperator and remove the // where it refers to tab-deliminated to make it the default.

I think it's working now.. thanks! thanks Leslie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
