Garry, thanks for providing the solution. i have another similar file and
tried to use it but it did not work.

i can try to upload the text file if you would like to see it


Yes, I can test with it here to see why because my test file just repeats your
2 sample blocks a gazillion times. Meanwhile, try Claus' suggestion...

I tried Claus solution but that did not work. Yours did.

Im adding below contents of the file. I am only interested in column data for some fields NOT all which are Station Name, Hostname, Default window, default usercode. I don't know if there is a way to send you the raw file

I just took a small portion of the actual file which has 2M records. The 1st line is blank - you can copy the text below into notepad
