> Can I convert the text file into metastock???
Yes.
Assuming you have access to the text data (and not just a jpg pic), this
is what you need to do:
1) Convert mm.dd.yyyy date format to yyyymmdd;
2) Replace al commas with stops within all data fields;
3) Add a comma after each data field, but not after Volume field;
4) Use a script to automate the above steps;
5) Convert the comma-delimited data into MetaStock format with The
Downloader or Mansoor's excellent data utility.

Example:
<Date><Time><Open><High><Low><Close><Volume>
20050615,06:30,1.8075,1.8087,1.8072,1.8087,58
20050615,06:45,1.8086,1.8091,1.8078,1.8080,102
