hi,

and welcome to the forums.

Your task is not complicated. Write a wrapper script which translates your data into the syntax you posted. This could be DOS commands, powershell, VBA...whatever you are proficient in.

Use "edit 0" for automatic numbering. Save as a text file and import via Bulk command (System > Advanced).

You may search the forum for "bulk" to see how other members have solved this. Examples are usually for bulk import of addresses but maybe you can adapt it.
