Default ASCII data import from TS to NT

Hi,
I have tons of data exported from tradestation and would like to import them into NT for backtesting purposes.
These data look like this first line of minute EURUSD:

"Date","Time","Open","High","Low","Close","Up","Do wn"
01/04/1999,2259,1.18180,1.18180,1.18180,1.18180,0,0

Please, could somebody post here first two lines of data that ninja trader will import?
I can program the conversion utility, no problem, just need to know what format it will import...

(I think it might import data in the same format it exports - but I do not know how these data look like and I want to save my trial periods for data from some brokers for later when testing on specific data).
Thank you very much
N.

Default ok, but...

Thanx, I did but not thuroughly, I see now how to do it. Thanx.

I have one more question as from what I have seen there:

"NinjaTrader bar time stamps are end of bar. This means that a 9:31 bar consists of data from 9:30:00 through 9:30:59."

Shouldn't it be 9:30:01 to 9:31:00 as 31 must containt the time between 9:30:59 and 9:31:00??? Otherwise explain me the logic in it, please.
