import field category to linkcategory altcategory?
Hello all,

I wanna import data, now i have 1 field for the category with data links this:
fields: ID Category
data: 1 category1,category5,category6

Example in 'real' data it look like this:

1|sport,real estate,business|[rest off fields data]

Question: how can i import this data so idnr. 1 will have sport as mean link and the extra category's (category real estate have to use _ btw? and businness) as alternate links in the alternate category table.

Do you know the extra code for the import.pl file?

Allready thanks.

Regard Startpoint.

I also asked Alex a few minutes ago, but i think they are very busy finishing to new version so i try it here to. If he has a solution i post it here.

This was discussed back in the Fall of 1999. Search the Links SQL Discussion forum for AltCategories Loopy import.pl.
