Ian Beacall is a Wonderful Wikitreer for going above & beyond a simple button request.

Question

When I first ran across a post talking about the possibility of a "Magic Button" for making tables, I knew I had to jump in & add my 2¢. After taking 3 days to make 1 table for 7,600+ men, & working for over a 2 months to make tables for squads & their planes, I can tell you that I am sick of making tables by hand, so yes, please, a "Magic Button" & the sooner the better!

I didn't realize when he asked me to give him a couple of days that he would return with not only an answer to my request, but a complete file of tabled men & planes in squads; I think the original 7600+ Company Roster of men  is also there. It's AWESOME!

Ian is pretty remarkable. But he needs more sleep. There's no way he gets enough sleep...

Answer 4

Thanks for the thanks, Pat.  I could see that that job was going to take you forever, and I could do it fairly quickly with a small script, so it would have been rude not to do it.  I'm glad it's turned out well.  As for the Magic Button (the new Wikitable Wizard)... Well, I'd already made that.  It was just a coincidence that someone asked for it on G2G.
