I'm actually wondering how it got as far as tactics without screwing up. Shouldn't it have missed OFFENSE and DEFENSE as well? Both of those had trailing spaces too.

Holy Mother of God! That is brilliant!! Trenloe, thank you so much for this sausage machine magic!
I don't know how much time I've spent copying NPCs laboriously by hand into my burnt offereings module, but this sure did the trick for chapter 4.
If you're interested in hearing the tweaking issues I had with a straight cut from the Rise of the Runelords anniversary edition PDF then this is what caused me grief.
1. the "CR #" in the PDF appeared after the XP bit so I had to manually shift those entries around
2. I copied the traps in at first and that caused their entry to concatenate with the following critter - removing the traps from my txt fixed that.
3. I noticed the spells didn't go into the spell tab in FG. Not sure if that is a 'feature' or whether that is normal. They seemed to appear in the other tab.
All in all though that saved a hell of a lot of time (and given I've got 5 more modules of the rise of the runelords to go, it will be worth the hour it took me to figure it all out)
thanks again!Last edited by Tubel; August 31st, 2012 at 11:31.

Something to watch for when troubleshooting
Just an fyi since its the first time I've come across it. Some PDF's will eliminate the space in the cr line. "CR 9" works. "CR9" does not.

I know this is going to sound dumb, but I have tried to use this several times and I have been very unsuccessful. Is this something someone who is not very computer literate can use? If so could someone give me a step by step?

The main thing to know is that the application takes a text file as input. This text file contains creature statblocks that adhere to the Paizo format as defined in the first chapter of the Pathfinder Bestiaries.
I've tried to design it so you can just copy/paste the creature statblocks out of a PDF - there are some gotchas depending on what your source PDF is, see the first post.
There is an "Example Creatures File.txt" file in the downloaded zip that provides you with an example.
If you have specific issues please post here.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

Thanks Trenloe! It am always amazed at what I can learn by reading the directions and why I never go to them first. This is a really great program and an incredible time saver.
