Any particular reason you won't use a software which can import/export csv?

A quick hack I can think of is in gedit search and replace all ';' with
tabs ('\t') and then have a wide tab (depending on how wide each value
is). Then just replace all tabs back to ';' to revert. This of course if
you're 100% sure you have no tabs within the values themselves. Also
make sure it is using real tabs not spaces.
