Data submitting

Map existing model-pages to existing sets
-Subject: Map existing model-pages to existing sets. (Only useful when submitting a high number of entries/data/mappings.)
-Example scenario: At Indexxx.com you see some sets that don't have models associated to them, but you know the model pages of those models at Indexxx, then you can submit them using the following format specification.
-As proposed in http://forum.babeid.com/showthread....st-and-other-related-thoughts&p=2055#post2055

Definitions:
-entry: a photo or video set at a website, which has zero or more names of models associated to it.
-model: a model identified at indexxx, and thus has a model page.
-name: the name of a model used at the website to which the entry belongs.


Field description:
-date format: year-month-day
-modelNameAtWebsite: if the name is random, prepend a "*" before the model name. (A name is "random" is a model name string contains multiple models of which the names cannot be mapped to be models, because the names aren't regularly used on other websites.) If no model name is known, use a "?' character instead.
-indexxxUrl: if no indexxxUrl is known, use a "#" character instead.
-Multiple entries can be added. No empty line is needed to seperate entries, but it can be added if it helps you visually to see each distinct entry.
-"[tab]" stands for a tab character.

Format:

I would like to change the format a bit:
-using comma's instead of tabs. Comma's are less error prone.
-Comments can be added after the # character. For example, you can add an URL where the model can be found at iafd.com
-The date is basically optional.

Yuriy, what do you think?
(See the modified format in the first post.)

Commas are not so good because set names can contain commas. Better use semicolon, ";"
Also for human readability, I'll keep tabs, but the script can ignore them and match the semicolon for the purpose of dividing a string into fields.

I've just changed the first post to your suggestions.
