External Data Group list - Integer, String, Address

Hello,

I've been asked to create external data groups in my test environment. But i'm unsure of the syntax that has to be on the importing file for Integer,String or Address.

By somehow modifying the syntax and referring F5 articles, i came up with this. I created a text file with the below and saved it. After importing it worked for External - Address.

network 192.11.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0,
network 192.11.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0,
network 192.11.3.0 mask 255.255.255.0,
network 192.11.4.0 mask 255.255.255.0
`


The same goes for External - String.

`"name1" := "value1", 
"name2" := "value2", 
"name3" := "value3",

Well but for Integer, it aint working. I'm really unsure of the syntax. I see integer,separator and value.

But unsure how to define it. Any help on external data group creation for all from the scratch would be appreciated.

+Contents on the file

1 { "test 1" },
2 { "test 2" },
