The LOAD DATA comand can do this: from the mysql docs:

The following example loads all columns of the persondata table:
mysql> LOAD DATA INFILE 'persondata.txt' INTO TABLE persondata;
No eld list is specied, so LOAD DATA INFILE expects input rows to 
contain a eld for each
table column. The default FIELDS and LINES values are used.
If you wish to load only some of a table's columns, specify a eld list:
mysql> LOAD DATA INFILE 'persondata.txt'
INTO TABLE persondata (col1,col2,...);

Check the mysql docs for more info.

Again, this is covered in the documentation.
