2.1.0 Import from custom text or spreadsheet file

Suppose you keep track of your physical cards collection in a text file or a spreadsheet.

Suppose you track your collection so carefully that you have specified set code and / or card number for some of your cards.

How do you make Mtgdb.Gui keep this information?

You will need a *.txt file in MTG Arena format, where lines follow the patterns below:

2 Counsel of the Soratami (CHK)
1 Boros Guildgate (GRN) 243
1 Pledge of Unity (xxx)

• Notice that (SETCODE) is mandatory. If you don't want to specify it, use nonexisting code like (xxx)
• Card number following set code is optional

How do I convert the data I have to MTGArena format?

Normally the task can be solved using a text editor supporting Find & Replace with regular expression patterns.

If you don't have one, there is an excellent online tool regex101.com. Replace can be done using SUBSTITUTION box in the bottom of the page, it's collapsed by default.

If you can't handle Regular Expression yourself, then ask my help in Support.
