I am trying to read data from a legacy system. I have a .dat file with no header and that contains data with no specific delimiter like comma or tab. It has a width/length base elimination system. Another file with an extension .fid contains header for the related .dat file. With each header/column there are some code/control chars that determine the with of each column. Please take a look at the screen captures bellow. Can someone please help me connect both file anyway an parsing the data. Can see a bit more in my earlier post here
I did some parsing by guessing the width/length and by manually analyzing the data. I am finding a way to do what does the legacy system programmatically .
