how are options handled during csv import

I get item id codes that resemble this aaa-bbb-ccc where ccc represent a size (this is not found in all items) ,

my problem is ccc represents a ring size or chain lenth.

the aaa-bbb part is repeated in several items with the ccc part being different.

how is this handled by other site operators,

keep in mind we are talking about 1000,s of items



the output i currently have is

http://erea71.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=555



and this output i find unacceptable



thanx

Not sure I understand you, do you mean the product code format or the option? Can you explain.



John

my problem is



Product code

BAR-050

BAR-050-07

BAR-050-08

BAR-050-09

BAR-050-10

BAR-050-16

BAR-050-18



represent the same item in different sizes ,

how do i represent this to the customer and get the correct item code ,

i could leave it like it is and show the item under several catagories to represent the size

but i can see that being a problem for the surfer ( want a size 7 but surfing and ordering size 9 )
