I am trying to get into PDG/TOPs, and done/watched a half dozen tutorials but am having a hard time figuring out where/how to start.

I have a list of assets generated by another tool, and would like to process that list with a PDG graph.
How would one go about crating tasks/work items from a list (text file, csv file) into a PDG graph?
Sample file or specific tutorial would would be greatly appreciated.

CSV Input TOP is the work horse for bringing in rows of text.
Basically you want to end up with one work item per row of input.
The docs have an example you can load up if you navigate to it using the houdini help browser (press the help button on the csvinput node)
