Hi Eric
GREAT :-)
Thank you very much for showing this simple solution for creating a lot of
tiddlers from a simple list!
I can't help thinking that this sort of magic might allow for a little more
complex things like converting a csv list of tiddler names, tags, standard
and custom fields into tiddlers, simply by writing a simple macro with
variables for each field in an action-setfield widget call...
I guess I'm just having a little daydream here - however It would be very,
very nice to drag a csv file to a TW - click a button and kazaam -
(example) answers to your google docs forms are magically turned into
tagged tiddlers with content...
Cheers Måns Mårtensson
