I have a big CSV file with Latin vocabulary with a unit number
Like this: 

latin word;german word;Unit 01
...
latin word;german word;Unit 02
...

How can I

  • create multiple decks
  • import the vocabulary into the right deck

in Anki in one go?

I have no problems with reformatting the CSV with regex etc. Thanks!

  • Might "http://superuser.com/questions/698902/can-i-create-an-anki-deck-from-a-csv-file " be able to help you? – Florian Straub Nov 25 '16 at 15:05
  • first anwser not, i want to import into different decks at once And I think with the script I only could generate mulitply .apkg files at once, not importing them – Quanten Feb 15 '17 at 14:46

    Anki claims it is not needed to have separate decks as you can make decks in Anki by searching tags. Having a lot of decks would it seems slow down Anki. So it advises to create at hoc decks by searching when only one unit is needed. – vinnief Apr 21 '17 at 21:53

I have not found a solution for that particular problem, but I achieved my goal of learning only some units, which I want to share.

It basically follows the suggestion of vinnief in the comments of the question.

Tags and suspend Cards

I imported my CSV as mentioned in the question into one deck and imported my unit field into the Tag field of the cards. Then I used the card browser to suspend all cards I doesn't want to study

  • I would add a field (called, say, "source") to store the Unit information. Once imported, use the browser to restrict results by that field (with search of source:"Unit 01", say). Then select all those cards and right click and click "Change deck..." and make a new subdeck. If you have a lot of units that could be too time consuming, but you could make your subdecks Units 1-10 or even 1-100, whatever makes sense. – Brownbat Jul 11 '20 at 17:50
