Open the file it exported to your league's import_export folder.
Now you have 2 choices from here. If you don't care about the players in this file, just overwrite one or more of the existing players with the details of the player(s) you want and reimport the file via that same Actions dropdown.
But if you don't want to overwrite any players, copy one line from that file to a new text file and edit it to what you want.
Now go to Lg > Free Agents
Click on Actions > Create Fictional Player
Change Draft Eligibility to "Eligible..." and click Create Player
Note the player name it created. Do this for as many players as you want.
Now go back to the Draft Pool screen and re-export that file and look at it. Confirm that the new player's name is at the very end. Note the player ID #.
Now go to the txt file you created with your player(s) and change their player ID #s for the new fictional players you had the game create.
Now from the Draft Pool screen again, click Actions > "Import...", select the file you created, and voila! Do a search for your player and he should be there.

You can even import players from other leagues if you want (this is what I wanted to do).
From the lg you want to import from, go to Lg > Lg Settings > Functions > Lg Actions > Import/Export > Import... Rosters. Copy the line(s) of the player(s) you want into a new text file. Then follow the instructions above from the Lg > Free Agents step. The only thing you have to be careful of is if you're importing players from a different version of OOTP then the file structure might be slightly different. In which case you might have to add in or move some data.

Thank you so much! Just one quick question. What is the best software to use to edit?
