maxtercorp Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I have a question about adding products to my oscommerce. I have easy populate feature installed. I have a bunch of word documents with products and product descriptions that i made up to print out and from a catalog. Now i have oscommerce and I am ready to upload my products. Now lets say its 5,000 products and images. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT THIS????? I been searching for programs that can help with oscommerce or can convert them to excel spreadsheet then mabye from there i can batch uploaded them. I was wondering if there is a techgunie or someone own way of doing this that they would like to share with me. I know someone out there been adding products to someone store and took them a long time, came up with a better way. So in conclusion. I have a bunch of Products layout in Word with product descriptions that i want to upload as easy as i can into OScommerce. Second. I Have one that is PDF, That has images, model numbers and tables. That i like to export data, then upload into oscommerce. So my Question is anybody ever run int this before. IS THERE ANYWAY TO MAKE MY JOB EASIER AND FASTER? PLEASE IM ME IF YOU HAVE A RESPONSE>> PLUSE IF YOU WaNT TO earn some money i might need some help doing it and i will compenstate you for your time. THANK YOU SINCERELY, KEVIN R.

jfrey Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 If the data layout in your word and PDF docs is regular, it can be done. Get your documents into pure text. (Word is easy, I don't know abut PDF.) Scan those docs with awk or perl to extract the data you want into some tab-separated files. You can even use php for this. Then combine those files into a tab separated file for Easy Populate and import. Good luck. I have a question about adding products to my oscommerce. I have easy populate feature installed.
