Assuming that you know the format of the DAT file, then you just need to read each record, reformat it into a comma separated string and write it to a new file. Maybe it would help if you explained exactly what your difficulty is.

Solution 1

depends on the field separator that is used in your dat file...

1.read your file as a string
2.replace the field separator with a comma and
3.save the string as .csv file
