Importing users from a flat file

[jotinhapt]

Hello,

I own a vBulletin community with some thousand users. Meanwhile I acquired a website with some thousand users and I want to merge them in my vBulletin installation. The users are stored in a flat file with the format <username><tab><e-mai>. My ideia is to merge them automatically with some random password that I'll send to them. Even though I have the necessary MySQL/PHP skills, I'm not familiar with vBulletin database, so I would like to know what is minimal data I need to insert and how to encrypt the password.

Thanks for any help

You can use the Impex text file import module for this. Please read the online Impex import instructions here:

Thank you, I didn't know that ImpEx could handle text files.
