I have several thousand books, movies, anime, manga, games, etc. that I need to organize into spreadsheets. How in the everloving fuck do I automate this, even partially?
I have a shitload of .txt files with lists in them and links to miscellaneous database websites and need to scrape a few specific things from each one (like genres, who made it, when it was made, etc.) and map that to a spreadsheet. Some things need data from multiple websites because a lot of databases suck for anything that isn't mainstream. I don't mind cleaning it up after, I just need a way to get the information in a readable format with as little editing as I can get away with.
If there's any retard-friendly software, programming languages, etc. I can learn and use to make this even a little easier, please direct me to them. I have no clue how to code, but I'm assuming learning how and automating this stuff would be much faster than doing everything manually at this point. There's gotta be a better way.
