I am working with fixed width text files that are from an old format type data that was restricted to an 80 column record length. The result is there are multple rows for each unique record. In this case there are 3 rows in the text file that make up each record. Is there a way to read in the data directly? Or is the only hope to parse out each row and keep track of where it is (row 1, row 2 or row 3) and write out to a new file...
I thought this was going to be easy.....
