I work with tab-delimited files for a living. Because of the same need
you have, I created a Python script to do this. It has usage
information that is easy to follow (just run it without any
arguments).
I hope someone else finds this useful. I have, and use it every month.
It can be easily modifi

Exactly, I believe COBOL. It is a daily reconciliation with an
exchange and our system's orders. One of the problems of dealing with
these old legacy systems that never seem to go away

recno_idx = slice(0,10)

order_type_idx = slice(11+10, 11+10+3)

!? That seems to me confusingly far from a working solution,
at least in comparison to
recno_idex = the_line[0:10]
client_idx = the_li

I hope this is the right place to ask, but I am trying to come up with
a way to parse each line of a file. Unfortunately, the file is neither
comma, nor tab, nor space delimited. Rather, the character locations
imply what field it is.
For example:
The first ten characters would be the record num
