 * A long time ago I stupidly had a few custom fields setup for my posts and pages.
   They were SEO Override fields. I can’t even remember 100% why I needed this over
   some form of built in SEO field or plugin. Either way, I’d like to get rid of
   it now as we use Yoast anyway. Problem is I very randomly have meta data that
   I typed into those fields for over-rides as intended. It’s very spotty which 
   days/posts/pages I did them. Well, I don’t want to re-makup that info to put 
   in those fields right now as it would take forever. I also don’t want to go through
   post by post searching for which posts I filled those fields out for.
 * Instead, IF there is an easy way to do it or a plugin… I’d like to pull/export
   all the data in that custom field along with maybe which posts they go too. This
   way I don’t have to go through every single post looking and can just copy/paste
   the posts I know I did it on but into the Yoast fields instead.
 * Make sense? Is that possible with this plugin or am I way off here? Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I’m not really sure where this is related to the TablePress plugin (in whose 
   support forums you have posted). Could you therefore please elaborate on that?
 * (My gut feeling is that you will need some manual work here…)
 * Regards,
    Tobias
