Plugin for parsing a file into confluence table

Question

hello,

I was trying to find a way to build a confluence plugin (or macro of it is enough), which takes a text as input parameter, process it by some rules including regular expressions, make some substitutes from configuration file and then produce the confluence table (with regular confluence formatting) basing on resulting data.

Could you please advice on what is the plugin type i need to use? It would also be very helpful if you can give me some direction on how to configure plugin UI.

Apparently I need a text area as input parameter, not a regular text input good l field.

Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks

unfortunately, the list of rules for the file processing is quite a sophisticated, so i didn't find the way to do it with existing solutions.

Hi @xahdpe ,

You may browse the Atlassian Marketplace - maybe there is a solution, I'm not sure about the text field though.

But there are several apps that can output tables in Confluence from CSV and JSON attachments/urls.

Maybe you'll be able to configure your data outside of Confluence using Python scripts, for example. Then you may save the data in CSV/JSON formats and recreate tables on Confluence pages.
