Re: Import models from CSV files?

heya, The sample code request was just me being lazy =). Hmm, so you think the csv parsing code should be in the upload processing? This would just be a form with two boxes for the user to select the .csv files, and an upload button. Better putting it here than in the model? In terms of

Re: Import models from CSV files?
