a time saving modification
Authored by: sr105 on Jan 19, '07 08:07:51AM

I was going to suggest a python script to help you, but then it occurred to me that you should have your students, using TextEdit or Notepad, create a CSV/TXT file in your class folder (one file per student).

Name,ID,E-mail,Optional Phone

Then, you just load the text files into excel. You could save time by using the command line.

cat *.txt > whole_class.csv

Folder names also have various character restrictions which may or may not cause problems, as such I like sr105's suggestion.
