And after removing all of the carriage returns from the text, each episode became a single
line of text -- exactly what listdb.exe requires as input. The header information goes
on the first line of the file and specifies the database name, custom field lables and
categories. Thus the first few lines of the .csv file I created are:
X-Files Episode Guide,Episode,Number,Season 1,Season 2,Season 3,Season 4,Season 5
Season 1,THE X-FILES,1X01,Original Broadcast Date : 9/10/94,Written by Chris (...)
Season 1,DEEP THROAT,1X02,Original Broadcast Date : 9/17/93,Written by Chris (...)
Season 1,SQUEEZE,1X03,Original Broadcast Date : 9/24/93,Written by Glen Morgan (...)
Season 1,CONDUIT,1X04,Original Broadcast Date : 10/1/93,Written by Alex Gansa (...)
(etc..)
I then use the listdb.exe program to convert this into a List database, used
the Install tool to install it onto my Pilot1000. Once it was on the Pilot
I used the customization dialog to change the display style from "field1/field2"
to "field2/field1" this means that the second field will be used to sort the
episodes. I found that this was more useful than the alphabetic sorting of the
episode names since I tend to think of the episodes by number, not name.
Credits: Norman L. Lim compiled the XFiles episode guide from the original Fox press
releases. The List database was created by Andrew Low. The information is
provided "as is", we hope you find it useful.
