Hi Ivica,

We'll need to see some of these DAT files to understand how the data inside them is structured.  Can you please supply some.

Do you want all data from the DAT files imported or just some parts?

Regards

Phil

I am not familiar with your dat files structure which is why I need to see examples. 

Even with the data you supplied above it's not clear what the next line is.  Is it the beginning of another set of related data?  Is it a blank line?  Is it more data relating to the 3 preceding bits of data?

There's no point writing code that will break the first time you use it because it is not able to handle the structure of the file.

Regards

Phil
