Hello all,
Reviving an old thread:
Has anyone been able to import a google sheet as tiddlers, one tiddler per
row, with columns for title, text, tags, etc? (essentially, replicating the
functionality of Eric Shulman's
http://www.tiddlytools.com/#CreateTiddlersFromCSV for TW5?)? This thread
Hi Danielo,
My experience with trying to do that was that google sheets couldn't cope
with exporting given the number of rows in my sheets and would keep falling
over half-way through, which forced me to use apple-Numbers instead.

Hello Mans,
Yes, it is possible to have a script that reads the sheet and creates a Json
output. I don't know the best way to export that data: giving you the option
to copy it? As a file in your drive folder? As am extra cell in some other
sheet?
The easiest way to process the shet would
How many rows are we talking about? If there are so many I don't think TW can
handle it neither.

Hi Richard
Thank you very much for taking your time to show how you do it :-)
Very helpfull!
Now I will need to do some experiments.
Is it also possible to create a master JSON tiddler/file which will be
imported as a single tiddler where all defined tiddlers will exist/behave
like shadow
Sounds good to me :)
I hope you'll share if you get it working - very interesting

Mans, if you are interested and you are using Google spreadsheet it is not
difficulttto write an script to export the data of a sheet as Json or tiddler
format.

Hi Danielo
Of course I'm interested :-)
However I'm totally blank when it comes to writing a script to use with a
Google spreadsheet.
I was thinking of having two seperate scripts one for creating a JSON file
to import/create a lot of tiddlers at once - as Richard proposed - and
another
From what I remember it was around n=1200 rows - some sort of bug I
suppose, perhaps it is fixed now? - batches of less than n worked fine.

Hi Mans,
Starting with a spreadsheet - data in colums, no headers - put a blank
column inbetween each, starting at the beginning and, in the top cell, add
little snippets like this...
{ text:
so that, as a whole, a single line of the spreadsheet reads as a valid json
entry, with a comma
Hi Richard
If you would like to create a lot of tiddlers from a spreadsheet, there's a
simple method - put 'dummy' columns between your actual columns and fill
them with the right json delimiters, paste the whole sheet as text into a
file and save it and then drag it into TW. I can show you

In other words, can I iterate through a list,

It's still great :-)
