Change format of imported data

[alexnj]

Historical data want this format
20061107 000431;1383.00;1

However I want to import some instruments (Greek funds) with a date and a closing price. I copied to Excel then had to do many merging and spliting to get in the format Ninja wants (in Greece we use , for decimals and not . plus date is DDMMYYYY - can't change my computers general settings all the time to usa). After a lot of work I managed to export to txt and then everything was messed again...
Here is an example of my source of data

Any ideas how to convert fast and import in Ninja daily (EOD prices)
Is there a convertor or other utililty?

Thanx

Hi alexnj, unfortunately I'm not aware of such a tool, I would also go with Excel to format and export the needed data. Maybe a workaround is running a backup PC on US settings to make this process more straightforward.

There are tools available that will very quickly find and replace text strings. I am not affiliated with the software, and it is a bit of a learning curve, but definitely useful <pun intended>

Also CSVED http://csved.sjfrancke.nl/index.html is freeware and I have used it to good advantage, but you cant automate it.
