I'm having a little trouble taking a text file and extracting the 
values I need from it to create a GeoDatabase.

The text file I receive is fixed width text file which lists all the 
attributes and geometry information on each line.  The latitude and 
longitude values are in the following format:

ddmmss.xx

I tried reading the file in as a text file and using the 
SUBSTRINGEXTRACTOR to parse out the values I need.  My problem arises 
when I try to extract the Lat/Long values and calculate points.  The 
first SUBSTRINGEXTRACTOR works, but then it tries to take that single 
value and calcluate the points with it so the rest of the workbench 
fails.

Has anyone tried to extract and create points from a text file like 
this?  What's the easiest way to do it?

Thanks in advance,
st
