I would like to add multiple courses to a batch of users.
I created a CSV file with about 27 columns. Each column has a different course id. The last column, column 28 is a the user email list. 


Here's the two methods I tried with no success.


1. I tried running the command "gam csv FET.csv gam course ~id1 add student ~email gam course ~id2 add student ~email"

It only added the id's in column id1.
I'd like it to go all the way to id27 in one command line.


2. I tried making a batch file as follows:

gam csv FET.csv gam course ~id2 add student ~email

gam csv FET.csv gam course ~id3 add student ~email

gam csv FET.csv gam course ~id4 add student ~email

gam csv FET.csv gam course ~id5 add student ~email

etc

This did not work either. I limited processes to one. I inserted commit-batch after each line.

I tried it with just one line, and I figured that a CSV command does not work from a batch file.


Is there any way to do this?

Waseem,

With Advanced GAM (https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3) you can do this.

gam csv FET.csv gam courses "~~id1~~,~~id2~~,~~id3~~,~~id4~~,~~id5~~,~~id6~~,~~id7~~,~~id8~~,~~id9~~,~~id10~~,~~id11~~,~~id12~~,~~id13~~,~~id14~~,~~id15~~,~~id16~~,~~id17~~,~~id18~~,~~id19~~,~~id20~~,~~id21~~,~~id21~~,~~id22~~,~~id23~~,~~id24~~,~~id125~~,~~id26~~,~~id27~~" add students "~email"
