I have a text file , having fields delimited by ; in the first line and all the way down is the data taken for those fields . Say FAMILY NAME;SPECIES/SUBSPECIES;GENUS NAME;SUBGENUS NAME;SPECIES NAME;SUBSPECIES NAME;AUTHORSHIP Acrididae;Acanthacris ruficornis (Fabricius, 1787);Acanthacris;;ruficornis;;(Fabricius, 1787) Acrididae;Acrida bicolor (Thunberg, 1815);Acrida;;bicolor;;(Thunberg, 1815) Acrididae;Acrida oxycephala (Pallas, 1771);Acrida;;oxycephala;; (Pallas, 1771) Acrididae;Acrida turrita (Linnaeus, 1758);Acrida;;turrita;;(Linnaeus, 1758)
