There are two common ways to do this.

First, import to a temp table then fix up the data there until an
"insert into real_table select * from temp_table" type statement to
import the data.

The second is to swrite some kind of app in bash, perl, php, awd, sed,
C or whatever language you like to put the data into a format that the
database won't choke on.
