So i've been working on making an import template to take txt files emailed from our online form and entering the data into point. I've pretty much figured out what I need to do except it would be a lot easier if instead of being column based the template was row based. As it is the txt files we get are like such:
"Name: john smith
Address: 123 funny st.
...
"

Whereas the template is preset to look for data as such:
"
Name Address...
John Smith, 123 funny st...
"

So any chance I can get the template to work via row's instead of columns?


Also does anybody know of any premade 3rd party templates that I could just customize my form to?

Thanks.

you could get webcaster, it would make your online loan app process very simple.  You would just be emailed a borrower file.  If you don't want to go that route, we will be releasing an sdk you could programmatically add a point file with.  The other option would be to change your webform so that it creates the text file in a more friendly format for use with point.

I'm currently in the process of changing our webform output, it would just be easier if I could do it the other way around. About the SDK any idea's of when that will be released?
