If that's true then IMO the process that generates that file is poorly designed. Depending on how the lines are constructed, the easiest way to extract a limited number of specific columns might be to use the split function along with an array slice. You'll need to post some sample lines from the file and specify which fields you need to extract for us to be able to provide a more succinct answer.
