Default convert text "20100315" to date format

Hi,

I have some data exported from a system, the date is a text displayed as
"20100315" which should read yyyymmdd. I need to convert this text to
another date format showing mm/dd/yyyy in text for importing into another
system. As the text format yyyymmdd does not contain any "/" or "-" so
using text to column will be a difficulty.

Please advise how could I handle this.

Thanks a lot.

Best Regards,
Terry
