OFFICE CHOICE DATA IMPORT

Their data is in some sql flat file database and comes with dos apps to extract it with.

Note: there's crap at the end of the sql output which you should remove also.

Stock import:

To generate the data use this command:

sql.exe "select code,sup_code,c_code,name,per,sg_code,n_cost,on_h,lpo_date,lm_date,lr_date,price from stock;" > stock.txt

now because this program is from 1991 the date format totally screws up with 2000+ dates and needs to be fixed because it it frells the fixed width formatting and I noticed dates and data would be chopped off when importing to excel, anyways this simple command fixes dates in teh format of mm/dd/1yy to become mm/dd/yy

cat stock.txt | sed 's/\([0-9][0-9]\/[0-9][0-9]\/\)1\([0-9][0-9]\)/\1\2/g' > stockdatefixed.txt

You shouldn't need to fix up the alignment after that but check it anyways before importing into excel.
