Question

I have a lot of text files I want to upload into TWiki but NOT as attachments. I want to upload them into a Topic's main content area. Is there a way to do this?

Answer

Well, one way is to simply copy them into the relevant twiki/data/SomeWeb directory from the filesystem. You'll want to make them all have good filenames like WikiNames.txt

They won't have any revision history or metadata (like forms, last author, etc.) until the first within-twiki edit is saved.

Or you can use some CurlTool or CPAN:LWP magic.

Also, not sure, TWikiShellContrib might be useful as well.

Yet another solution: Use a modified GenericWikiToTWikiAddOn, or a specific one like DolphinToTWikiAddOn.

Or a cshell wrapper around EditTWikiExternalEditorAddOn ? something like:

#!/bin/tcsh -f 

set web="MyWeb"

foreach f ( MyList OfFiles AllWith AWikiWord ForTheirName)
   echo "Uploading $f"
   cat > do_one.csh << EOF
#!/bin/tcsh -f
                                                                                                                               
cp $f \$1
EOF
    chmod a+x do_one.csh
    setenv EDITOR do_one.csh

    edittwiki  $web.$f
end
