Documentation on the table importer

[amerigoV]

I saw it was updated. I played around with it and kinda works. But if I clicked on Columns/ranges in first row/column it did not do another. Is there documentation on the feature (did not see it in the wiki or a [?] button on the tables in FGU.

Example, a simple table like this:

Range,Column1,Column2,Column3
1-2,a,b,c
3-5,1,2,3
6-8,x,y,z

Using several variants, it never paid attention to the first row as header or the first column as ranges.(by variants - if I remove the ranges and just have header and content, it still treated the first row as table content, not as the header row).

This works for me. (See picture.)

Are you sure that you are in the Delimited mode with the correct options enabled for header row and range column?

I know its a big wish - but having the table importer split into columns so you can copy a column of numbers into one, a column of texts into another etc,, would be super cool (and fast) when copying tables from PDFs etc. which sometimes allow you to select all the text in a column.

Currently you can paste in the numbers fine (rolls) fine, but then have to add commas and then add each result text one line at a time.

Still this is great, thanks

Here is one for ya, maybe its some stupid mistake at my end but.

I would put both from and to ranges in even if it's just one. Try '56-56,Iron Tamer'

I tried that, same result, strangely. I thought of it after I made the post and was in the process of editing then tested it and had the same output.

The only extension running is Author.

Ok, I tinkered with your list and would suggest using the simple style with that table.

Table D
01-08 Chemical factory
09-18 detonation of gravity
19-28 detonation of the black sphere
29-34 detonation greater
35-44 force shield projector
45-50 gas bomb
51-55 inferno wall projector
56-56 iron tamer
57-62 monoblade
63-65 nanite resistance
66-68 rampaging form
69-83 rejuvenator
84-95 skill boost
96-100 stim

We appreciate the feedback and will add it to the list to investigate why the delimited version doesn't go past 56

EDIT: I tried it again with the above, but also included the Range,Result and placing commas between the ranges and results. This produced a table correctly. I will investigate further, but this does produce the correct result.

I think it may be due to the '–' is different than '-'. Try replacing them with the second one.

Perfect, thanks. Such a simple thing.
