Import from the Windows Clipboard

Data can be imported into UOBod from the Clipboard by using "Paste" (CTRL-V)

You will be given a chance to determine into which Bod book the Bods you are about to import should go. Dont worry if you initially assign them to wrong books; this can easily be changed from within the program once you have your data iside.

It does not matter how you enter the text to import into the clipboard. Most likely it will be UOAssist's output, but it also could be a text that you generated inside an editor and then "copied" (CTRL-C).

You can read more about the UOAssist import here.

In any case the data will be entered into your current database in UOBod, so don't forget to create a new database first and make it your current one if you don't want to merge the data into your existing collection.

Bod data created and output by UOAssist is suitable for import as is is; even prices that you have assigned in that program will be imported correctly.

If you want to use an edited text to import Bod data into UOBod using this method your text will need to imitate either UOAssist's output or UOBod's proprietary text format.

Here is an example of how a Bod description looks in UOAssist format: It's basically also what you get from UO itself.

UOBod can also output this format. It is what you will find in your clipboard when you use "File/Export/to Online Databases". Depending on your editor, you may have to convert the Unix-style line wraps (0Dh) to DOS/Windows-style (0D 0Ah). Windows Wordpad will do this for you automatically.

Please do not try to read in any textfile complying with the above described format by using UOBod's File/Import/Textfile feature. It will  give you a lot of errors. Use this format only to import via the Clipboard (CTRL-V).
