HELP: Importing Lists
Hello, I've been looking around and can't seem to find how to import your own lists into Scratch. For example, I wanted to make a big (i mean BIG) list but it would take too long to do it manually through Scratch. (in this circumstance I was trying to get around 100 pieces of information as different items in a list) So, I've got all this information in a Notepad document with each item on a different line - how do I now get that into a list on scratch?
thanks :)

Wait, so you mean that you were able to import your lists using a txt file? How did you do this?

Re: HELP: Importing Lists
You just right click on a list and select "import" and it will let you open a .txt file with all of the list contents. Each line can have a text string or value on it and it will go to the corresponding placement on the list. You can also choose to "export" the list into a .txt.
Edit: Fullmoon posted a few seconds before me with the same answer.
