[Moin-user] Import text file

[Olivier Lauret]

Hi Dylan,

Thank you for your message. Very appreciated. Indeed, the changes below
works perfectly. Thank you.

I tried to apply this script to a non-existing page, in order to create
pages automatically from another source, but I encountered some ACL issues.
Would you know how to create a page and set its ACL?

I guess you have to use the PageEditor import and the parseACL, but I have
no idea how this works since the parseACL doesn't take any argument.

Sorry if the question is too basic.

Regards,
Woody.
