Updating products via the import from textfield

Hi,
I just need to double check if I can update an existing product, or several products actually with the option Import => import from text area option
if I check the option "Update products information if the product_code already exists". I have hundreds of imported products and now i want to upgrade them all with prices and images.
The images is uploaded to the media/com_hikasop/upload folder already. The product name and category already exits.
An example of the text I want to upgrade with:

product_name;categories;price_value;price_currency_id;images
Abejote;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;
Adams;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;
Adams Trude;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;adams_trude.jpg
Black Beetle;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;black_beetle.jpg
Blue Dun;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;
Klinkhammer Purple;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;
Little Yellow Stonefly;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;little_yellow_stonefly.jpg
March Brown;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;march_brown.jpg
March Brown Flicks;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;march_brown_flicks.jpg
Mosquito;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;mosquito.jpg
Slow Water Caddis;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;slow_water_caddis.jpg
Slow Water Sally;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;slow_water_sally.jpg
Sparkle Dun;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;sparkle_dun.jpg
Sparkle Dun Gray Drake;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;sparkle_dun_gray_drake.jpg
Sparkle Dun Green Drake;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;sparkle_dun_greendrake.jpg
Spent Caddis Lawsons;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;spent_caddis_lawsons.jpg
Wickhams Fancy;Torrflugor;4.00;USD;wickhams_fancy_dry.jpg

I have to change the status for this as it seems like this import/upgrade made my shop displaying product names wrong.
I close this and refer to this topic instead:
How can I get rid of extra product header?

Normally, the system uses the product_code column to match the products from your CSV with the ones in the database as the option implies.
Since you don't have it, it's using the product_name as product_code to match the products.
So it will only update the products if the products have the same code and name. Otherwise, it will create new ones.

Ok I see so then I choose not to display any product ID as I always have variants like the hook size of each fly.
Now I have checked only to display the price. If I choose variant I get a : (colon) in front of the variant name, in my case something like "size 10" "size 12" etc. If I want to not have any : in front like ":size 10" where do I change that? I have been looking for it in all of the files in components/com_hikashop/views/product/tmpl/ but I don't find it anywhere.

Hi,

It's not in the files
Go in the configuration and change the option "Append characteristics value to product name" and that should do it.

Hi, If I set that then I wont see any hook size at all in the cart. I only want to get rid of the colon ":" in front of the hook size value.
It looks like this after I have choosed a hook size:
Fly name
:size 12

Would have been better with:
Fly name
size 12

Ah in that case, you can simply change the separator with a translation override like that:
HIKA_VARIANT_SEPARATOR=" "
