Batch change descriptions programmatically in Magento
This is a simple script to bulk update Magento products' descriptions quickly and easily. It takes as its input a two column CSV, which simply has the product SKU in the first column, and the new description in the second column - this CSV is uploaded to the web root of your site, along with the script file.
