I have a text file file ready to go into a Filemaker database. It has over
5000 rows, each containing over 500 columns.

If I do a straight import I can only pull in the first 442 colums, but all
records. I can't take it in via Excel for the same reason - column limit
stops at 'IV' - never got that far before.

Is there a way to remove columns from the file using php on a fgets() basis?
I can identify which columns I can do without quite easily - certainly
enough to pare the file down to a reasonable extent.

An alternative would be to create a MySQL Table and drop columns there.

Advice on best route would be welcome.

Cheers

George
