For the record duplicate spaces are irrelevant.

Ok -- not that it's possible that your file is a fixed width field
file.  If that's the case, spaces aren't really a delimiter -- for
the general case you need to determine the field widths
and split on that.

For example, let's say your column are split at columns
11, 15, 24, 34, 44, and 58.  One approach to parsing a
line might be:
  ((11 15 24 34 44 58 +/[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]) </. ])

If you don't care about blank lines you can use cutopen to
split the lines of the file:
  ((11 15 24 34 44 58 +/[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]) </. ])@>@cutopen

Or, if you do care about blank lines (and can guarantee that
the last line of the file is a newline character), you might
use something like this:
  ((11 15 24 34 44 58 +/[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]) </. ]);._2
