I've got a real puzzler here (well for me at least) - it's accounting
data that's provided as a text file with fixed with fields -
the problem is one invoice is split over multiple lines.
To view the following line-wrap needs to be off and the font spacing
needs to even.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REG. REG VENDOR'S NR. VENDOR INVOICE INVOICE
INVOICE NET VAT % DESCR.
DATE sEQ. NR VENDOR'S NAME VAT REG. NR. DATE NR.
AMOUNT AMOUNT AMOUNT EXEMP.

The eventual goal is to load this data into a database so I'd like to
convert this data to a CSV (or equivalent).
Each new invoice begins with dd/mm/yy, the name of the vendor occurs on
the next row, I need to sum the net amount column for each
invoice (the end of which is marked by the occurence of a new line
begining with a date)
My question is qhat tool/s should I be using to crack th is one and
could anyone help me get going please.
I know it's a lot to ask. But believe me I'm going to be do this stuff
day in day out so it won't be long before I can contribute
to the newsgroup as well as request.
Thanks Oliver
