Ya, that's totally fine. I have injected variables into the SQL statements, so it protects from adding padded vest;DROP ALL ITEMS.

Apparently you don't know of Bobby Tables - http://xkcd.com/327/

Mass importing...the problem is either I figure a way to parse people's logs (ya, not happening) or I allow you to enter in multiple items at once (problematic given I want locations for each, etc unless I make it multi-stages per item). If you use it locally, it's a SQLite db file so you can do whatever ya want to it as long as ya put in the right format it wants.

Thanks - as I said, the Diku/Wiki/etc is all pretty dated and missing some vital information like the new AC format etc. I need the new format so it has to be relatively new. I could make it so I could import all that but why? I plan on doing this in baby steps so we'll get there - I don't want day 1 everything from the wiki/dio's.

Conditional and multi-filters will be possible, ya.
