Not entirely sure what you're getting at exactly. If you could provide a better example/extra info that may help.

 

You can read in your text file just fine and Alteryx will split it on the comma if you tell it to read the input as a csv (comma separated value), as shown below.

 

However, in the sample you have provided, there are no headers, hence the 'Field_1', 'Field_2' type names. I'd imagine in your live data, there will be headers, in which case you just tick the 'First Row Contains Field Names' box.
