Project Description:
need to import some projects from a CSV file into magento. I would need this done as soon as possible. I am using Magento community 1.7.0.2.
The products need to be input using some sort of parser.
Instructions for the parser from the previous hosts are provided in the quote below.

Thanks for sending this through. I believe perhaps I should have included an annotation with the csv file to better explain how things have been arranged.
The idea is to have this as a platform agnostic/easily consumable format which anyone can interrogate and implement a simple parser for.
So a brief explanation on the dataset.
The key columns you need to be aware of are:
"Sequence", "Type" and "Handle"
*Sequence*: Logical grouping of data types where
1 == the product attributes
2 == Variations of the product (e.g. small, medium, large, etc)
3 == Product Images
4 == Collections or categories the product belongs to
*Type*: As per above, Product, Variations, Images and Collections
*Handle*: The uinque identifier for a product. This is the glue for all the various data types related to a given product.
Unfortunately, we are not able to have the data exported in a different format but can send an updated csv if required.

SEO Links
Old product links from the existing site sitemap will 301 redirect to the correct product pages for the magento version of each product. For example :
ringsandtings.com/products/rings/example/product_a (old site product url)
if visited, after the transfer, will redirect to
ringsandtings.com/rings/product-a (Magento product url)
