Ok guys hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I have all of my data stored in individual .txt files. I was wondering if it was possible to automaticly fill the fields of a table with the data stored in the text files. Hopefully this is possible via macro but im not scared of a little shell scripting(ubuntu) either. Thanks in advance!

Hello

Make a new database.odb document based on text.
If possible define your tables first.

OOo Base can't do this but the built-in HSQLDB can: [Tutorial] Using csv/text files as editable data source.
