I'm busy setting up a cheap and nasty article directory using some open source code and I have around 100 000 articles to seed it with.

The articles are all in .txt format in folders/subfolders according to category on my hard drive.

Is there an easy (I have no coding skillz and very little db knowledge) way to export all these articles into the MySQL database on the site, or do I need to have a script written? I'm sure as hell not gonna cut and paste them one at a time through the website interface!

If I need to go the script route can anybody here help me (not looking for a freebie)?
 


You may find something that will do what you want but it would be a lot easier to have a small script written. Send me a pm if your interested.
 
You need to decide whether or not to have the actual article text in the db fields or just the title, category, path/filename.

It's mostly an issue of filesize vs speed.
