Ceder Square Dance System (CSDS) ==> Sequences

Importing sequences
I'm experimenting with your "Sequence function" "Importing SD type format " in order to ...."Call From Screen".

Here's my situation:
I wrote tons of dances (sequences) using Bill A. "SD". Save them as... ie. E-Z_C-1.c1

I modified these Sequences, Fonts, Wording and eliminated the Page Breaks in MS Word 2000. I liked the idea of printing at least 2 S/D moves to a line (instead of one) and inserting my own Page Breaks. I save them as a .doc file. Thus printed them out.

Now I would like to import (if I could) this .doc type file into your CSDS program.

.DOC files can not be imported into CSDS sequence databases.

A text file is required.

There are 3 kinds of text files that can be imported.

  1. A text file in which sequences are delimited by an at-sign in column #1. For example...
    Heads Wheel Thru
    Swing Thru 
    RLG
    @
    Heads Pass the Ocean, Ping Pong Circulate,
    Extend, Swing Thru,
    Spin the Top, Slide Thru,
    Pass to the Center, Centers Square Thru 3
    Left Allemande
    @
    Sides Slide Thru
    Double Pass Thru
    Track 2
    all 8 Circulate
    Trade the Wave
    LA
  2. A text file in which sequences are separated by a blank line. For example...
    Heads Wheel Thru
    Swing Thru 
    RLG
    
    Heads Pass the Ocean, Ping Pong Circulate,
    Extend, Swing Thru,
    Spin the Top, Slide Thru,
    Pass to the Center, Centers Square Thru 3
    Left Allemande
    
    Sides Slide Thru
    Double Pass Thru
    Track 2
    all 8 Circulate
    Trade the Wave
    LA
  3. SD format

My advice is to try saving the file as text, with at-signs in column #1 between the sequences.

If you still have problems, please send me (E-mail attachment) a sample .doc file, and one of the .txt files you created. I'll have a look at them.
