As far as I understand, you want to achieve the following:
- Several .txt FILES (or whatsoever format - .txt should be one of the least problematic)
- Convert the FILES into DATABASE ENTRIES - given you want to convert the .txt files into wiki pages.
I have no idea, if that is possible.
Maybe a linux crack who also has a decent knowledge in MySql could write a script for that.
The script must "fetch" the text out of each file and write it into a mysql table.
If you analyse the structure of a typical wikipage table of a Tiki database I can imagine, that it would be possible with some kind of Regex Search and Replace.
Maybe with a similar method it would also be possible to add certain information into the textfile, which makes it a database table and then rename it.
If all that is done, you could import the tables into the Tiki database.
I think it is possible, but to do so the first time would need either a very high specific knowledge or a good amount of time.
I think a very interesting problem - I start to get some appetite ;-)
How many Textfiles you have, which must be converted?
Cheers
