This simple batch load does not geocode the labels, it just allows you to quickly capture many verbatim labels and generate collecting event entries for them. The input is a text file (no problems with end-of-line characters detected, if else you may need to convert your line endings to UNIX format).
A series of three hyphens in one line, e.g. "---" separates labels, i.e. different collecting events. A whitespace line can indicate separate labels in the same collecting event, but will be grouped under the same field, "verbatim label".
Example file
USA:TX:Brazos Co. 2 mil SW College Station, ix-12-2009 S.Smith, Malaise --- USA:TX:Brazos Co. 2 mil SW College Station, ix-13-2009 S.Smith, Malaise Collected off of really really big tree
This file results in 2 labels. The "---" is translated into a label separator. The second label has a blank line to separate the geographical information from the note ("collected off...")
