Rename the file so it has a ".csv" extension,  run calc and do File>Open to
open the file. In the "Text Import" pane that appears, select "Separated by"
and then select "Space" as the *only* separator. You'll get one field per
cell with each line of the file going into a new row. Now format the columns
as appropriate although none should be necessary depending on your settings
for date and time.
