Import a load of txt files into TW

[Rhod Evans]

Hi - I've tried all sorts of note software over the years and currently I'm using FSNotes.  However I've been using TW for a couple of weeks now and I'd like to give it a more thorough test by importing all my text files and playing with them.  Is there any way to do this with a plugin or an import command?  I've searched this forum and also searched tiddlywiki.com and I can't find anything obvious.

Thanks

Rhod

Try the browse widget

<$browse multiple>

or drag and drop them on tiddlywiki.

If you are using TW on node.js, an easy way to get your txt files into TW is via tiddlywiki.files:

https://tiddlywiki.com/#tiddlywiki.files%20Files

However, to get them to save correctly back to the original location, you will need an updated version of this patch, which I can provide if needed.

Hi Sam and thanks for your reply - unfortunately I'm not using TW on node.js.

Rhod,

Did my suggestion work for you?

Dragging a bunch of files will import them all and you have the opportunity to include/exclude.

Copy and Paste will paste into and importable untitled tiddler

Drag and drop a link and other selected will also 

Once you have the content in your wiki a range of possibilities exist to interogate or parse the tiddlers.
