Default Text file data all in first column

Trying to import my text file into Query. Asks me to select columns, but all
the data is in first column, how do I create the text file from the back
office so it will put records in seperate columns.

Thanks

I know text to columns but the reason for using query on text files is that
the text files contain more rows of data than Excel can handle, therefore I
cannot manipulate data within Excel. The answer is probably going to be in
how my back office creates a text file, this is my area of knowledge
deficiency (AOKD).
