Thanks for the suggestion, but the file has variable length records, and has
several thousand records. I'd REALLY rather not parse it one record at a
time.

hi,
you could use the fixed width option but unless all of the
data is the same width that could cause a serious problem.
i don't know how much data you have but you may have to do
it in groups or 1 line at a time. (yuk)

I have a space delimited file that contains address

information. Is there a
way to parse each record so that I parse the records into

specific portions
(Company Name is field 1, Street Address is field 2,

etc.)? Using the space
as a delimiter doesn't help in this instance because

every word is obviously
separated by a space.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks.
