How to import MobInfo2 database into MobInfo3

Right this seems to be some unwritten law or something as I cant find a helpful resource which actually tells you how to import MobInfo2 data into MobInfo3, so here we go.

You will need MobInfo3 Addon and MobInfo3 Database which can be downloaded from
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/SearchResults.aspx?q=MobInfo3

Save the two downloads at the location of your game folder if you dont use Curse Addon Client.
Example: C://Program Files/Blizzard/World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns/MobInfo3

Right assuming you have the two addons saved in the correct place:

Step 1: Exit World of Warcraft if you have it open.
Step 2: Right click on MI2_Import.lua and open it with NotePad
Step 3: In notepad click on "Edit" then "Replace"
Step 4: In the "Find What" box write "MI2"
Step 5: In the "Replace With" box write "MI3"
Step 6: Click the "Replace All" button.
(if unsure of steps 3, 4 and 5 see screenshot below) 
Step 7: Save and close the file
Step 8: Rename the file from "MI2_Import.lua" to "MI3_Import.lua"
Step 9: Click off the file so its no longer highighted and shows "MI3_Import.lua"
Step 10: Load World of Warcraft and load your character
Step 11: Open MobInfo (by writing /MI3)
Step 12:  Click on "Database" tab
Step 13: Click on "Start the Import"
Step 14: DONE!
I hope this helps, any problems please feel free to comment!
