This should answer your question - but certainly not solve your problem
(cf below):
f = open('/path/to/file.txt');
file.readline(); # skip headers
for line in f:
# skip separators
if line.startswith('---'):
continue
parts = filter(line.rstrip().split())
print ';'.join(parts)
f.close()
Now the problem is that, obviously, the position of a group of data in a
line is meaningfull, so just filtering out spaces isn't the solution.
Did you check that it's not really a tab-delimited file ? If yes, doing
line.split('\t') might help. Or just trying with the csv module FWIW.
My 2 cents...
