Hello,

i try for two days to import a textfile with 3700 Books in Bookends.
I didn't know anymore how to declare the import filter. Nothing work.
Perhaps somebody could tell me what i have to set in an importfilter to import a textfile with the following structure:

<Begin[9],0>
AUTOR==Author
TITEL==Title
SIGNATUR==Notes
ERSCHEIN_ORT==Adress
ERSCHEIN_JAHR==Year
SCHLAGWÃ–RTER==Keywords
PUBLIKATIONSTYP==Typ of Book
<End Block>

Yeach book has this form. But i'm not able to import these to bookends.
Could somebody help me?
thanks

If the file is exactly as you show, you have to pre-process it. Bookends requires a space after the tag. So you'd need to do a search/replace in a text editor or word processor:

replace '=='

with

'== '

Then in the filter, set the tag for Authors to

AUTOR== (no space after the ==)

etc.
