Flashcards Deluxe Forum

Thanks you for your help, and sorry I took so long to say it.

Bad habit, I'll jump around different forums for a few days, then not look at any of them for at least 2 weeks.

Thanks for the info. It sounds like iPad's iWorks just doesn't support putting quotes around the text with linefeeds when copy-pasting to a text box. For now, I agree the best way to send to your PC first before uploading to my website.

I don't actually have a full mac computer. Just a pc running windows.

Just to clarify, it works correctly from excel, not from iPad iWorks.

The whole problem is not that big. I just export a copy of my updated spread sheet back to my pc on excel, and go from there.

Thanks.

As for the 3 "car" flashcards, this would be a pretty advanced feature, although would be nice. I'll make a note of it but I wouldn't hold my breath on this one.

As for Excel pasting, did you or can you try the same think using your Mac (not iPad). My guess is that it will work with the full computer version. If so, the iPad version is a little behind the times, I'd say. There is a possible workaround... create a formula in column D for example that removes that new lines and substitutes my special | character to represent a new line:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(10),"|")

Hi.

I've been using you Flashcards Deluxe app for about two weeks now and I have to say it's great.

So far, I've been using it to study Spanish with side 1 being the Spanish word and side 2 being the English word. Eventually, I'm going to be studying in the other directions, English to Spanish, and I'm pretty sure you included a setting to do that. Even if you didn't it won't be that hard to make a modified copy of my spread sheet to accomplish the task. I do for see some problems though when I do start studying the other way.

Let's say I have the following three flashcards

el carro --> car
el auto --> car
el coche --> car

(This how my textbook lists them, and therefor what i will need to know for the test, even if there are better translations.)

Now going Spanish to English, this does not pose a problem, because I have three distinct "Side One"s. But when I flip it around, I'm going to have the same "Side One" for three different cards.

It would be nice if the program would merge those three cards into one automatically making side one list "car" and side two list all three options. I've already done this manually, by making only one flash card to begin with that has all three Spanish phrases on one side, and just "car" on the other, but it would be nice if the program could spot these types of instances on it's own.

One more thing just for your information. This is NOT a complaint, just letting you know so you can do something about it or not, assuming it's something that can be fixed on your side in the first place.

I just bought Apple's iWork office sweet for my iPad, and moved my spreadsheet on to it. When I then tried to copy and paste it into your website, it didn't quite work as planned.

Let's say I have a flash card with one line on "side one" and two lines on "side two" when copied from iWorks and run through your website, I end up with two flash cards, the first has the "side one" text and the first line of "side 2"
The second card has a blank "side 1" and the second line of "side 2".

Other wise, keep up the good work.

P.S.: If you want, I can send you my spread sheet in any of the following forms if you would like it to help debug the problem, assuming it is something you can do and does not need to be fixed on the iWorks side.
