Excellent suggestion but I can't seem to find a way to split the one text file up into it's individual notes using the xml editor. Thanks anyway gazumped for your help, I'll just stick with what I have for now.
I've been using a note app called Cintanotes. I have hundreds of entries and I wondered if there was any way to get them into Evernote? They are contained in the program database, but they can be exported as one long txt file. Also, where is the database for evernote and can I export any note at any time to a text file?
