Hi all, I have a text file with columns, where the columns may not be aligned, and not all lines may have data in all columns:
header1 header2 header3 header4 ------------------------------------------------------------ l1dat1 l1dat2 l1dat3 l1dat4 l2dat1 l2dat4 l3veryveryveryverylongdat1 l3dat2 As you can see, line1 has all data, line2 is missing clomuns 2 and 3, line 3 is a mess :) Any thoughts on parsing such a "table"? Please don't offer solutions suggesting to change the way the text file is written, I have no control over that...
