6 Importing and Exporting Data
There are times when entering information manually into PhoneSweep would require a prohibitive
amount of work. Therefore, PhoneSweep allows you to import pre-existing sets of phone numbers and
brute-forcing information.
6.1 Importing Phone Number Lists
Before importing a file containing lists of phone numbers into PhoneSweep,
• Make sure that the file is formatted as specified in the following section,
• Make sure that the time period codes are set appropriately in the file.
Click on the Import button to import a file containing a list of phone numbers. When the Import Dialog
box appears, enter the name of the file containing the list of phone numbers, select the “Phone numbers”
Import Options, and then click OK.
6.1.1 Formatting imported phone numbers
A file containing phone number/time period code pairs to be imported must be in text format ("MS-DOS
Text with line breaks", in Microsoft's terms). Each phone number and time period code pair must be by
itself on a line terminated by a carriage return/linefeed, and formatted in one of the following patterns (do
not include the angle brackets):
• <phone number> <Tab> <time period code> <CRLF>
• <phone number> <Comma Space> <time period code> <CRLF>
• <phone number> <Space Space> <time period code> <CRLF>
• “<phone number>”<comma>”<Timeperiod code>”<CRLF>
