CSV2MAB converts data in CSV format directly into the BAFO/SBC title format. Which column goes into which MAB field is set in an INI file.

Download#

How to convert#

Copy csv2mab.exe into the directory holding the CSV files, set up the matching INI file (same name, extension *.ini) and run the program. All files with the extension *.csv are converted according to the settings in their INI file. The MAB files are then available with the extension *.mab.

Individual files can be converted by passing them as an argument:

csv2mab.exe mediendaten.csv
