Hello Alex!
www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/forum/resources/Forum9/HTML/000093.html
There was therefore no reason to use Import.pl if I did not have Links data. So this was a wrong direction and further a wrong advice which led the confusion. It would be nice to write in the editor.cgi "one line saying that - Import.pl is for Links v2.0 users! To import your data from the Links v2.0 format, click here <a href=...">"
The concept of import.pl is clearly to get the field names in an array and get into the respective table.
I have not really understood the code functions of the sub_routines of the &import_data and &export_data. I would like to know. Will it get all the categories and links in the correct tables + Index + Alternates + Hierarchy + the necessary things which is done after Validation table routine?
Can I simply export Validate table, compress it, work offline, zip it get it on the server and dump into the database via import data? Will then all be done via &import_data routine the same as Validate routine?
