Yes, Readerware can read files of bar code scans or ISBNs. Just select the Load button in the auto-catalog window. Readerware will then load the file, convert bar code scans to ISBNs and display the list of ISBNs in the auto-catalog window. You can then run Readerware auto-catalog as normal. There are several uses for this feature: Maybe you have a portable bar code reader, scan your books without removing them from their shelves. Then upload the data from your portable bar code reader to your PC and open it in Readerware. If you already have some books cataloged and want to convert to Readerware, export a list of ISBNs from your existing database and let Readerware re-catalog your books automatically. The file you create can contain bar code scans or ISBNs. The ISBNs can be with or without hyphenation. Just make sure that the file contains each bar code scan or ISBN on a new line.
