Overview

Timport (Texis Import) is a general purpose data import tool, for importing text files into a Texis database.

The format of the text files one desires to import is delineated in a schema description file of prescribed specifications through the use of defined keywords and regular expressions matching records and fields. Timport reads the schema file while operating on named files, and imports that text into a Texis database which has been first created to match the prescribed tables and fields in the schema description file.

Once the table has been loaded, it is immediately searchable by any Texis program.
