[KLUG Members] Parsing a Text file

[Andrew Eidson]

Hello all.. I was wondering what is the best way to Parse a fixed length
text file in linux.. I have a file that is 900 Characters long and needs to
be broken out into a comma or tab delimited file so I can then import it
into another database application. The application does not handle fixed
length files with no delimiters... For those of you in schools you may have
something since this is a State SRSD file that I need to Parse.. but just
wondering what I should use.
