Import from Microsoft Excel?

DocBadwrench 18 years, 5 months ago at Nov 14 16:28 -
I'm a pretty connected social-networking junkie, but sadly I lack some of the technical prowess that comes with it. I have an Excel document with all the books in my library (including, of course, an ISBN # field) and I'm wonding how I turn this into a Delicious XML file since it would appear that I can't figure out how to do it.

So, I take it the answer to this is no. :)

Sorry, I have no idea. I'd start by trying to find out what the "delicious library" xml format is that listal can import (Tom? I poked around a bit, but couldn't find it; is there a reference somewhere?), and then it shouldn't be *too* hard to convert your excel file to that format, though it may take a little programming...

Alternatively, if it's not an outrageous number of books, cutting and pasting the ISBN#s into listal's add feature would be tedious, but not as bad as trying to search for everything.

I'm still waiting for the UPC code add feature, so I can use my cuecat to scan my books in. That doesn't seem to be on the update list, though. :(
