Importing from Pleco

Hi. I'm new to Skritter. Can I import my vocab lists from Pleco?
Thanks for any help.

You can use the pleco export feature and exclude all additional data from being exported (disable the "include data" radiobuttons). The xml will include the pinyin, but you can get rid of it by deleting it in excel for example.
Next you can copy all vocabulary from this file (all hanzi) and use the quick add feature here: http://www.skritter.com/vocab/quickadd

Ok, not working. I try to export the list "verbs" from Pleco, excluding radio buttons, and I simply get a blank XML file in Dropbox, which is how I'm trying to transfer from Pleco to Skritter. I really don't want to re-enter all these verbs again, but it's looking like that's what I have to do! Any other help is much appreciated. Thanks.

I tried it with an txt file (not xml) and it's working just fine. btw you should also choose only simplified or traditional characters, not both.

Using excel, I can also easily delete the pinyin an afterwards copy the list to the skritter quickadd page.
