You can use any editor, which can handle table. For example Excel,
Access, Word, etc...
Import the analog.file into a table. Insert a new column and autofill in
with a number. Remove the old column "code".

If you use UNIX (crontab=UNIX?). Unix has perl and this is standard.
Otherwise you are not able to use Minivend.
I will try to fit Christians perl script for you:


-----snipp analog2mv.pl-------
# if "!/usr/bin/perl is not right, go to minivend root and
# look into bin/minivend at the top of this file. Copy the
# line, which looks similar like "#!......perl" and paste 
# this line here ....
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# where is the analog.file? PLEASE EDIT THIS!
$file1 = "/yourroot/youranotherroot/analogroot/the-analog.file";

# where is the new analog.file for minivend? PLEASE EDIT THIS!
$out =
"/minivendroot/yourcatalogroot/yourcatalogname/products/products.asc";

 $i = 0;
 open(IN, $in) || die "can´t open $in: $!";
 open(OUT, ">$out") || die "can´t open $out: $!";

 while(defined($line = <IN>) )
 $out = $i."\t".$line;
 $i++
 print OUT $out;
 }
 close(IN)
 close(OUT)
-----snipp analog2mv.pl-------

You can use this with this command "perl analog2mv.pl"
