When you create a realm, you can provide the structure file to use to create it. You can then create an export file from your old realm, and then import that file into the new realm.

I don't know if you can load a structure file into an existing realm just to add the additional structure elements.

I know it has been done. I don't know if it works reliably. I would suggest planning out your entire structure to the best of your ability so you can do one structure import and then make minor tweaks using the standard tools inside Realm Works.

Can you use the same structure file to add different excel files. I have three excel files and I'm trying to add them one at a time to my realm but the second file isn't actually importing.

Do you get any specific error?

Is each import using a different import name? I think there is a button next to the GENERATE button which allows you to define various things (including the name of the import) about the realm that will be added to the import file.

Each file has a different import name.

I'm getting the following error:

The following errors were encountered during import:

C++ Exception: Not in a span at line 1621 in file utility.cpp

Oh, that is a problem in the formatting within the file. Does your source data contain HTML markup? That sometimes causes issues with the correct encoding for putting into the RW import file.

I'm not sure if HTML is there. If so I'll not include it and see what happens. Thanks for the quick responses. This tool is AMAZING.

Release 1.45 is out

I've fixed a bug where a parent topic title was being processed as if it was a regular expression rather than a fixed string.

The title can now contain special characters such as parentheses without causing import problems.
