How to do mail merge in sedblaster4

SedBlaster4 is a powerful tool for automating repetitive tasks, but it doesn't have a built-in mail merge feature. However, you can still achieve mail merge functionality using SedBlaster4's scripting capabilities and some creative problem-solving.

Here's a step-by-step guide to help you accomplish mail merge using SedBlaster4:

Prerequisites:

Familiarity with SedBlaster4's scripting language (similar to Python).
A CSV file containing the data you want to merge (e.g., names, addresses, etc.).
A template document (e.g., Word document, PDF, or text file) with placeholders for the data.

Step 1: Prepare your data

Create a CSV file with the data you want to merge. Each row should represent a single record, and each column should represent a field (e.g., Name, Address, City, etc.).

Step 2: Create a SedBlaster4 script

Create a new script in SedBlaster4 and add the following code:

import csv

# Load the CSV file
data = csv.reader(open('your_data.csv', 'r'))

# Loop through each row (record) in the CSV file
for row in data:
    # Extract the values from the current row
    name = row[0]
    address = row[1]
    city = row[2]

    # Replace placeholders in the template document with the extracted values
    # For example, if your template document has placeholders like {{Name}}, {{Address}}, etc.
    template = open('your_template_file.txt', 'r').read()
    merged_text = template.replace('{{Name}}', name).replace('{{Address}}', address).replace('{{City}}', city)

    # Save the merged text to a new file
    with open('output_' + name + '.txt', 'w') as f:
        f.write(merged_text)

Step 3: Configure SedBlaster4

In SedBlaster4, go to Settings > Scripting and set the Scripting Language to Python.

Step 4: Run the script

Run the script by clicking the Run button or pressing F5. SedBlaster4 will execute the script, replacing the placeholders in the template document with the extracted values from the CSV file.

Step 5: Review and refine

Review the output files generated by SedBlaster4 to ensure the mail merge was successful. You can refine the script as needed to handle more complex data transformations or formatting.

While this approach doesn't provide a traditional mail merge interface, it allows you to leverage SedBlaster4's scripting capabilities to automate the mail merge process.
