Try this formula –

=TEXT(DATE(MOD(A1,10^4),MOD(INT(A1/10^4),10^2),INT(A1/10^6)),"dd/mm/yyyy")

Assuming the text "20122010" in date format is in cell A1

Assuming you will use some coding language to get this done, You can first check the length of string is 8. If its 7, then add 0 to front of string to make it 8. Then you can just insert ‘/’ after two characters and get the string in dd/MM/yyyy format.
