Extension:TableEdit/IFALT format

specifications
Each field is tab delimited, and each new row is seperated by a newline. If a field is empty, you can either skip it completely (and put the double pipes immediately next to each other as in the first row in the example below,) or insert the word NULL as a space-holder. NULL will be ignored by the loader.

update types

 * 1) append
 * 2) * force an append
 * 3) merge (default)
 * 4) * try and find matching row and merge new row with it, falling back on an append.
 * 5) clear
 * 6) * set a timestamp at the beginning of script execution, and clear_old will use that to delete any row_data from before the script ran.
