Default converting text to negative numbers!


hi all!

while importing data from .dat file, i have a column of data mixed with
numbers and text (actually they are negative numbers in the original
.dat file) as under:

10
200
300-
1110-
70-

i want to convert the text (numbers) ending with "-" as negative
numbers such as

10
