Reading Data

Hello all, I have a CSV file that has no delimiters, all data in one tab with no delimiters. 

 

Is there any text to column formula that i can parse the data in separate fields? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @AbdullahMansour90 ,

 

When importing the csv, you can type 

 

\t

 

to use tab as a delimiter and parse the data on import. You can do that in the configuration window of the input tool.

 

EDIT : Correction on that, I thought that the tab was the delimiter, ignore my response above

Without any delimiters the best way to do it is using RegEx.
